is 7" really big enough for a tablet for most people? That's only slightly larger than my phone :/

I'm sure it is a personal preference. Some people prefer 10" and some people prefer 7".

I've never understood the 7" tablet argument. Yes, the size and price makes it far more appealing for kids. And women who want a Kindle++ that fits in the purse they already carry everywhere (but is too small for a 10" tablet) could make a stronger case than most. But, in general, half the size of a 10" tablet doesn't make it half as useful as a 10" tablet and thus worth half the price. Half the size makes it really…
Seems to me that Google won the 7" race to the bottom, I wonder if we'll see a 10" race to the bottom.
No 3G though? I guess when you're only willing to spend $200, it's not worth it?
Am a bit surprised they didn't do some sort of "instant tethering" feature: tap your phone and tablet, they pick up over NFC and negotiate the config automatically.
Had there been a microSD slot, it would've been an instabuy. Without it, however, I fear that in 6 months I'll be juggling which applications or media I want to keep on it. I understand that Google's "everything in the Cloud" is an answer to this. Why keep music and movies on the device when you can offload storage? Because I don't want to depend on connectivity, and the device doesn't have native 3G.

You'd think they could just add the darn slot and migrate you gradually. The sockets are not pennies, but they really don't cost much.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

7" tablet fits in a jacket/coat pocket. 10" tablet does not. I also find the 7" tablet is more comfortable to hold in one hand. I have both a rooted Nook Color and an iPad, and while the iPad is undeniably a better piece of hardware, I find Nooks size more convenient to hold and use.
Any indication whether I will ever be able to buy one? I cant imagine walking into the carphone warehouse tomorrow and picking one up.
