Now that I've had some time with a nexus 7, I can confirm my dislike of 16:9. It's only good for watching video, which I don't do much of. For everything else, it's either too squat or too narrow. The n7, like many Android tablets, use soft keys in lieu of physical buttons, so there's even less vertical space in landscape. The keyboard is squashed in landscape and squished in portrait. In comparison, keys on the iPad keyboard look reasonably square like real keyboard keys.
(also, horrible design putting the soft buttons right below the space bar!)
