yeah a lot of tablets seem to be going with 16:9 or close screens. Will be great for movies and web browsing, but suck for things designed for potrait mode.
The iPad got the screen ratio right IMO--4:3 screens work great in portrait and landscape mode. I don't mind black bars for wide screen video as you're holding it so close anyway. And I wouldn't do a ton of video watching on a tablet anyway. It would mainly be a reader and net surfer for me.
