I can see what you mean. It does work OK, yet it still seems to be something of a compromise. It's not quite big enough to have the advantages of the larger screens, yet not quite small enough to hit the compact sweet spot either.

Thanks for that fascinating link. Some intriguing ideas there. I find tube shapes to be a bit awkward to store, stack or carry, but that one was such an eye catching design that it might just become a trendy item to have. The projector idea seems to be cropping up a bit more now. so it will be really interesting to see where that goes too.
