Exactly... I couldn't agree more. It's weird that he even made the announcement as if it wasn't a concern, it could have been ignored. The entire thing wreaked of fear, or a way to control the market by injecting it with doubt.

Don't get me wrong, a 10" seems like a really great size, but it's not portable in the same way. It almost demands that you're seated during usage because it's not easily held in one hand.
