It's a good size for a reader, but not a tablet. Maybe something in the neighborhood of 8.5 or 9 inches would be nice. The graphics resolution on my iPad 1 is great. I might appreciate the 3's higher resolution if I traded in my 61 year old eyes for new ones, but otherwise I think the resolution on the Original Flavor is fine. And I'd still like to see something lighter.
I'm looking for the 7 incher as a truly portable reading/surfing machine. Not much typing required.

Your point about aging eyes is counterintuitive but correct, I think.

UPDATE: turns out that the new ipad screen is very nice for these old eyes.
