Hmm, I don't quite understand your thought process. I wasn't suggesting the elimination of the pocketable form factor, but rather an additional form factor that is a little larger ("one inch bigger" I said). I think a larger screen would make for a more pleasant reading experience, especially for the (demographicaly important) baby boomer generation with less than perfect eyes. I know several people I think would enjoy the 770 but I don't bother recommending it them because I know that would have a hard time with the small screen. I don't believe a web-tablet should require so much zooming and horizontal scrolling.

Why does wishing for a larger screen mean I should jump ship and switch to a different platform entirely when I've already invested time learning the tips and UI quirks of this platform? That is strange advice coming from a 770 advocate.

I would have thought proponents of the 770 would want the product to be successful, resulting in more software availability and a continuing line of hardware.
