Default iPad 4?

Apple is rumored to have a smaller, 7" iPad in the works to compete
with the Kindle Fire which would make it more accomodating in the
cockpit for a nav aid than the 11" version. (There may also be a touch-
screen in development with realistic tactile feel from a company in
Sweden). Anyone have an opinion as to whether to wait until a smaller
iPad is available? There was a discussion awhile back that the Kindle
pixel refresh on a moving map is too slow. Is this an issue with the
iPad? Alternatively, what's the best smartphone or PDA (with internal
GPS) available now; the Dell Streak 5?
