I don't like my Nexus 7:
    - you need to two hands to handle it, so your thumbs easily touch
      the screen.  
    - 7" screen is too small for anything.  Spoiled by fullsize monitor,
      I guess.
    - portability wasn't all it's cracked up to be:
	- watching movie while sitting on toilet? ... get a life.
	- in bed? ... my arm hurts.
	- when eating? ... you have to washing afterwards.
	- while driving? ... 
	- email? ... can't type on this thing, and can't use my keyboard.
	- web? ... can't use my mouse.

I think "tablet" will go the way of "netbook".  You have "cell phone" at
one end and "laptop" at the other end.  The middle will be squeezed more
and more, as time goes on.
