Credit card sized from the standpoint of a Flatlander, perhaps...

I find it interesting, though. On my last visit to SF, I visited a small sushi restaurant and found it interesting that virtually everyone had an iPhoone-like device out on the table. They didn't seem to be interacting with them, so I assumed it was because you can't comfortably sit with an iPhone-sized device in your pocket.

I do the exact same thing. It's not because I can't comfortably sit with an iPhone 4 in my pocket (sometimes I forget it's there), but it's because I can't comfortably remove and replace my phone in my pockets with a longer/wider phone. Thus, for easy access, it stays on the table.

It's more likely that they had the phones respectfully silenced, but wanted to see incoming messages flash on the screen. I leave my Droid 1 lying face-up for the same reason.
