Yep. That said, I do think the current crop of 10” tablets *is* a fad. They are a bit too large to be truly portable without some sort of carrier when not in use.
I figure that it’ll settle out at maybe a 7-8 inch size.
I have my doubts about the smaller tablets. If by “some sort of a carrier” you mean something other than a pocket, a 7” tablet doesn’t solve that problem; it’s a slightly smaller size and negligibly lower weight at the trade-off of a lot less screen real estate.
I think we might actually see some slightly larger tablets. Something about the size and shape of a legal pad folder, something that a lot of people are already accustomed to tucking under an arm and carrying around. Of course, there is no one right size for everyone, so I think we’ll see a sweet spot where most of the sales are — like the 13-15” range for laptops — with smaller and larger options as niche products.
