But many (most?) of us don't take wide-angle photos.



Exactly. For you 16:9 makes more sense.

For Rock and I it's 4:3.

I viewed website side by side in Verizon of the Xoom and iPad 2 you get more screen real estate and more of the web page when browsing in 16:9, I mean most computer monitor's sold nowadays are 16:10 widescreen, there's a reason for that.

Photo's well to each his own I guess, I don't have a $600 + camera, only a $300 one and that shoots in wide angle, in fact you can find many compact cameras' that offer you wide angle shots and even most Smartphones. But how one shoots is there own preferance. But it's not some artsy only style of shooting film.

but you're right 4:3 for you and 16:9 for me. My case is basically you'll find 16:9 wide screen to be more of a desired screen ratio for most of the multimedia content, which is the majority of the use for most.
