Display efficiency is getting better all the time. If PenTile ever becomes reasonable, that has a 40% reduction in power.

And if you gave me the choice to carry a heavier phone, but get rid of a tablet, I'd do it.

Lastly, I suspect the size of these tablets would be 7" rather than 10".

I didn't realize the reason why 7" is bad before I got an iPad and started to read web pages, pdf documents etc.

For 7" to take over, you need to change standard for page sizes (or operate the eyes of everyone over 40).

Android tablets can reflow the text on zoom.

I love Instapaper, but reflow (not removal of images etc) is just painful on lots of web sites/pdf pages.
