Both Jinke and Netronix are far along with the 9.7 inch anyway and PVI will be cranking out 9.7 Flexi at the end of March perhaps. So, with the advent of the 9.7 inch screen anyway...there is even less interest in the 8 inch....

Thanks, Robert. I figured it was something like his, but now I know and will abandon hope

I just think 8" is a happy medium.

I guess I'll just have to get used to 9.7, if they are thin and light (never too thin, never too rich and never too healthy, as someone wise once said.) I do like a full page.
