We need modular devices.

I would like one with Win 7 starter, then there is access to a ton of apps and emulators already available. Assuming they allow usb controllers and file transfers without the lamea55 Zune interface. I will not buy an Apple product or Zune due to the need to use proprietary interfaces.

Above 4-4.5", it won't be pocketable anymore... so you gotta rethink your usecases. Unless you travel with a manpurse that can only fit 7" tablet, then might as well go for a 'proper' sized 10" one.

All I am saying is that it remains to be proven that there is an actual use case for a 10'' tablet just as much as for a 7'' one.

@sopwith: I think it has to do with the source documents. A 10" pad can reproduce A4-sized documents in more natural fashion. Web pages were also designed with that size in mind.
Yes, a small screen with a high enough pixel density of course can reproduce all the details; but it will still be physically too small (much higher dpi than originally intended).
So in the end, I guess it depends on what contents you're planning to use the tablet with.

Web content should be fine on anything 5''+, if properly formatted, IMO.

I find myself reading a lot of magazines on a 9.7" tablet... and most PDF and docs are formatted for A4\letter pages.

They started out targetting 14"-15" screens with 800x600 or 1024x768 resolution afterall.
