The only place that I can see that TV being a good idea is if you have it hanging on a wall where it will sit flatter than a picture frame. I have
this one sitting on a mid century modern dresser. The TV looks just as good off as when it's on. I wish I could buy that gorgeous stand separately and use it with my other TV's. However, I would not recommend it for anyone w/ kids, unless they mounted it flat onto a wall.

I agree with you about 7 inches being better for carrying around. I figure that would be about the size of the Kindle 3.
It seems to me that, given the wieght and thickness reductions on the iPad 2, a seven inch iPad is a kind of natural progression in the iPad universe. Happened with the iPod.

It would feel solid because it has an aluminum body, and the thinness would remind me of my Sony Readers. I'd want it for textbooks, so any weight would be less than those. I have a softcover textbook that breaks up the reg. hardcover into 2 parts. Just one half is 3.5 lbs and it's lack of hardcover make it very flimsy to try and hold. Every time I pick it up I wish I had a tablet.
