A breakthrough in that area might help, as it is apparent that mobility is an issue and that 6" and 5" devices have hit the sweet spot.
Right for me - I ditched my 7-inch Pandigital Novel for an Archos 5 Internet Tablet - very sweet for me, just big enough, and so light it does not aggravate my carpal tunnel, and thin enough to put in a "normal" shirt pocket (and that is inside a DayPlanner type cover). Now if Archos would just get back to updating it, and bring it up to FroYo, that would ice the cake (so's to speak ).

FWIW, YMMV
