Note that in this and other threads I'm talking about tablets with larger screens, i.e. those in the netbook range and up.
I agree that smaller tablets are genuinely useful devices that fit their market niche well, probably precisely because they concentrate on the surfing and reading aspect while the smaller form means that they come in lighter and cheaper.
