I like a 5" too. Something that will fit in a shirt pocket. Samsung just brought out a Galaxy Note which is really a smartphone. It has a 5.3" AMOLED screen. It is way too expensive though.

Still they are bringing to the US sometime in Oct their new Galaxy WiFi S 4" and 5" Players.
LCD screens but heck what is the Fire about?

In particular the Galaxy 5" player is of interest. It is supposed to be 269USD while the 4" is either 229 or 239USD.

The width for the 5" player is 3.07 inches, the length is 5.56 inches.
That will go in my pocket easily. [Sizes corrected. Were for 4" model.]

Here is the URL (note for Singapore right now.) Coming to US in Oct (16th maybe.)

http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consume...ype=prd_detail

Oops just checked. Now available for pre-order on our friend Amazon. Release date Oct 16 as above.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy...7543156&sr=8-2

One note, Amazon has a mistake about the display at 480x480 pixels, but the Samsung site has it 480x800 pixels.
