6-inch tablet? - Does one exist?
Let us pretend for a moment:
Let's say that I want a 'Kindle Fire type' (or 'Nook Tablet type') tablet reader with the same kind of screen as these units, but with a screen the size of a Kindle paperwhite or Kobo glo - in other words, a tablet with a 6-inch screen. Does such a creature exist? Don |

According to BestBuy in Canada there are 5" and 7" options only.
Lots of great prices on the 7" varieties. |

I wonder if it would also accommodate the Kindle and nook app. Interestingly, it's marketed as an ebook reader - which is exactly what I was thinking about. I wonder how good that screen is. Does anyone have one? Don |

I wonder how the illegal to unlock your cellphone would affect using a cell device in a non-cell manner in the United States and probably soon to be Canada.

Seems kind of low on resolution (800 x 480, 155ppi).
I don't see how it would affect it. I sometimes use my old Galaxy S as basically an Android iPod Touch with the cell stuff turned off and just WiFi turned on and didn't have to unlock the device to do that. |

Try to find Samsungs first edition of Galaxy Note. It has not a 16:9 screen, actually the resolution is a bit higher on the first version, (800 instead of 720). And you could probably find it pretty cheap on the second hand market.
