I mean, when does the Fire morph into a phone? Seems inevitable...need more coffee...

I think Nexus is rumored to have cell.. probably would have been unveiled today if not for the storm.
As for the mini, I'd say at least check it out. It does have more screen real estate, being 4:3 aspect ratio and 7.85 inches, but it is lighter than any other 7 inch tablet out there (that I know of) and it has a pretty small form factor, I think, due to the reduced bezel. Weight bothers me much more than size--if the full-sized iPad were 10 oz I would be allll over it.
