And they fit into my pants' pockets very easily. 7" is a step up, but for books it doesn't make much of a difference. And for newspapers, magazines, etc. a 9-10" device is much much better. So a 7" doesn't offer real portability and it doesn't offer full functionality.

When the price point for SGT dropped to $399 off contract at COSTCO, I picked one up. Actually I picked up the last one that my local store had.
I find it a perfect fit for me; as I normal wear dress slacks with fairly roomy pockets at work, the SGT fits nicely in my front pocket (after re-allocating some of my junk to another pocket). A 10” device just would not fit! Even though the processor is not a dual core, it’s still plenty speedy, and more than adequate for me. The only issue I have with the SGT is Sammy/VZW have not committed to a Honeycomb upgrade. I’ll be a little bummed if I stuck with Froyo/Gingerbread, maybe the boys over at XDA-Developers will come through. If so, it’ll be the first time I’ve even considered rooting.
