HI I am really happy with my KF but our 7 inch KF weighs as much as the current the 10 inch Ipad 2

I carried around a 13 inch macbook since 2008
and I just dont see much advantage in a 10 inch tablet from a portability perspective which is why I did not have any interest in the Ipad
A 10 inch Kindle fire would just be a little too big and heavy IMHO unless they are going to use different/lighter materials.

I am a professional 3D animator.
For me my tablet is a pure portable consumption device:
Light internet, reading of religious Texts, Sci-fi novels & Comic books and occasional video. something easily pulled from a large jacket pocket
while waiting in some tedious Line at a bank or something

any actual Creative production, requiring screen space for tool pallets, is done on my "real" computers at home.
