I'm really curious to see whether these smaller 7-8 inch tablets end up being closer to the sweet-spot than the iPad-sized 10-12 inch screens. Is the lighter, one-hand form factor more mobile and appealing? Or is it just a pain not to have the bigger screen on the device?
- wazoox 16y agoI'm with you here, I can't see why you would want a 7" tablet if you already have a 4 or 5" phone...
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoOn the other hand, you could phrase it as why would you want a 5" phone, when you can have a 7" tablet that makes calls? Unfortunately it is being reported that the US carriers are blocking this ability. Might explain why you can't make phone calls with the iPad as well.
- jsz0 16y agoI'm more inclined to go with larger sizes since my SmartPhone covers ultra-portability and one-handed usage. I think tablets might mimic laptops with a broad range of sizes being popular for different needs. Maybe anywhere from 7" all the way up to 17" as more of a tablet-top device.
