It doesn't seem very large, but when I mocked it up to see how it really compares with the iPhone when diplaying a non-reflowable PDF page, it actually makes a huge difference:



The high apparent sharpness and overall quality of the iPhone display (and presumably the iSlate's) makes its performance surpass what I'd expect from the spec.

I've posted a complete comparison of the iPhone and hypothetical iSlate displays here:
