The Mobile Marketing Revolution: Redefine Your Business by Going Mobile Fly Or Die: The Mid-Size Tablet Revolution | TechCrunch
@Robin Ashe
After using the PlayBook I figured that 7" really was the ideal tablet size - 8" if the bezel is way smaller. There's a reason the Nook Color went that size, and the Kindle Fire went for it as well. 10" is really only good for a design like the Asus Transformer - so it works well with a keyboard.

I'm loving my Samsung Galaxy Note. Big and powerful enough to use as a tablet and small enough to be very portable.
@Joe On
Love the Samsung Galaxy 7.0 plus tab....awesome.
@Mike Marticorena
Indeed, yes. Smaller is my choice. Hmm, yes...
@Annes Notrya
Funny, that's not what she said...
@Francisco Medina
7.5 inches: the perfect size. There is not doubt about it.
@Bob Yesselman
For those of us with big fingers, 7" doesn't work at all. Nerve wracking. I finally gave up and bout a 10.1. Perfect size for a tablet.
@Jazzy Jazz Keith
Fact Check - "a recent interesting trend..." HUH? the smaller 7 - 8" Tablet have been around for most of a year and a half! Where have you been author? Locked up in Cupertino in those Apple Media Hacks "Brain Washing" sessions that last most of a year? There have been loads of Android 2.0, 2.1, 2.3 and well as 3.0 Honeycomb 7 and 8" tablets around since summer of 2010! Most with off-brands from China, many with brand names like View Sonic, Arcos, Pandigital, Lenovo, Dell, Sylvania and even Acer! Sure the bigger brother Android 10+" Tabs have been getting all the press, because they are a direct competitors to the BIG and clunky Apple iFAD. But of course in TYPICAL CrApple Media Hack "Revisionist" story writing, now that CrApple is spinning "rumors" of a 7 or 8" iFAD, you clowns that dare to call yourself journalists will surely claim CrApple is CREATING the mid-size Tablet market. The FACT is that CrApple and the iFAD did NOT create the Tablet.... in 2002 Gateway Debuted an 11" TRUE Tablet (no external keyboard) which had an 11" Touch LCD screen, Handwriting Recognition, a Pop-Up Keyboard on the screen and built-in mic and speakers! MSFT created a special Tablet version of Windows XP for it and Gateway sold it for 3 years. Unfortunately, the world wasn't ready for Tablets yet. I reviewed it for a major publication and it was pretty damn neat! CrApple, the Great iNOvator..... but exceptional at SPIN and Stealing Ideas. There is a place for both Tablet sizes; just like there is a reason for Digital SLR's to Pocket Point n Shoots, and Notebooks to Desktops. I do think that there will be more 8's sold then 10's ultimately.... and that CrApple will get there ass kicked even faster in the Tablet market then they are recently in the Smart Phone market. Android OS 55% to iOS 22%, Samsung outselling Apple now one on one for the last 3 months.
@Annes Notrya
I think there is room for both... it isn't about which size will win. If I'm just doing email, facebook, and maybe watching a movie on the road, smaller is cool. If I'm using my tablet to surf the web or give a presentation at a coffee shop, 7" is inadequate and 10" is perfect. Different sizes for different needs and we have enough companies out there to provide us with choice. That's a good thing.
@Dan Katz
Companies still have not convinced me that I need ONE tablet; you're suggesting that everybody have two?
@Annes Notrya
Dan Katz – No. I'm suggesting that people think about what they will use a tablet for and choose the best tablet to fulfill that need.
@Annes Notrya
Dan Katz ... and no, not everyone needs a tablet.
@Dan Katz
Annes Notrya Okay, fair point. :)
@Dan Katz
...How is this deserving of the word "revolution"?
@Dan Katz
Annes Notrya Sorry, I tried to comment on your post after your first reply, but it somehow did not get posted. You made a good point in saying that people must consider their own needs; I misunderstood what you meant by your remark.
@Annes Notrya
Dan Katz cool.
