I'm not so sure. Personally, I found the iPad a bit big and heavy for my needs, and would buy a 7" version. Even better would be a PRS-900-shaped one - I like that form factor.

We'll find out what the market thinks is the best form factor after the next 6-18 months of tablet wars, but it's too early to say that the 7" format won't prove to be the most popular, I think. It is, after all, the most popular for books, which suggests to me that it might be the ideal compromise in terms of form factor.
