"it presents a much better experience when viewing videos" How? You hear this same claim all the time, never with any explanation. It's not as if you're LOSING pixels or screen size watching video on a 4:3 tablet. They're simply going unused.

It's not as if you're LOSING pixels or screen size watching video on a 4:3 tablet. What? Of course you are. Have you never used Netflix on an iPad? Gigantic black bars above and below. I suppose you could grossly distort the image and vertically expand it, but no thanks. Actually, 4:3 presents a BETTER viewing experience Absolutely preposterous. So preposterous it merits no direct response.

In short: Your response fails utterly to support your claim.
