Seem I prefer my iPad mini + iPhone one-two punch combo. It means that I have a bigger device that is still small enough to carry around in my bag and nice enough to be more useful than a Laptop for anything but work related stuff, but with a small easy to use phone that I can use for actual phone tasks like calling.
I can leave my iPad at home and still be connected, and splitting my workload across two devices means my batteries both last for ages. Some prefer the convergence, and i totally get that, but I had used the original large android handsets, and now I've decided that 4-4.5" is the absolute maximum I feel comfortable with for using in one hand. If I, using two hands, I may as well use my 8" tablet with a much better screen and processor!
