Both of them with over 200PPI displays. <br />(I say iPad, but if anybody else could make it as well including software, that's fine.)Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485455051458949924.post-8557497796383228002011-04-13T19:06:32.398+01:002011-04-13T19:06:32.398+01:00I'd put my usage at 40% manga reading 30% text...I'd put my usage at 40% manga reading 30% text reading, 15% RSS feed reading, 8% browsing, and 7% google map use.<br /><br />My 10" tends to stay at home, except for short hops to restaurants and cafes.<br />My 7" rooted nook color is a constant companion, either in a large pocket or a small bag.<br /><br />On the other hand I love having a 10" tablet while on extended travel especially during flights for movies. A big tablet does a good job as an alarm while charging overnight as well. <br /><br /><br />Of course, the bulk of the weight for a tablet is the battery. But if a tablet is being used in the home, the weight can be driven down considerably by using a smaller battery coupled with inductive charging ports (like the palm touchstone charger) and wireless sync.<br /><br />This also makes a case for modular batteries. A smaller lightweight unit for home and a heavier thicker unit for travel. <br /> <br />Over the next few years, as we discover what tablets are actually used for, I suspect we will transition from the "SUV" tablets that are all the rage now over to "golf cart" and "Miata" tablets.Stephen Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245318453265301485noreply@blogger.com
