Wait, so you want a tablet that is smaller than 5x8", smaller than a netbook, and that fits in your pocket? You know you can buy those already from Apple, right?

That's my point entirely. Predictions that an "<insert-any-company> tablet is going to take over the world" are woefully self-interested and fail to consider what "the world" actually means. I'm sure from a technology standpoint, it will be a neat device, but it's only going to matter to technophiles, and even then, only for novelty.
