meh.

I don't really like the 7 inch tablet form factor (even as an 'Apple hater', I think Jobs was spot on about 7 inches being too small). Also lack of any sort of SD option is just another reinforcement of Google blindly walking down the path of Apple.

I guess I'm sticking with my OG Asus Transformer TF101 for now. I was hoping that with Asus' involvement in the Nexus there would be a transformer/hybrid variant (for more money of course), but they seem to just be trying to attack the Kindle here.

It seems more likely than ever that my next hybrid tablet/netbook will be running Windows 8 instead of Android. Pseudo-ironically at least I'll be able to write Go code on that device.



It seems like there is really 3 form factors: 1 hand operation, 1 hand hold / 1 hand operate, and big tablet. It seems once you get past being able to hold it in one hand comfortably, you might as well go for the 10".


Possibly. But there are millions of Kindle(fire) owners that would disagree. I guess it depends on what you are actually using it for.
