That does seem to be reflected in the apparent lack of popularity of the 
7" tablets. I looked at the costs, and found that the 6" version of the 
current Nexus is actually less than 6" and costs very significantly more 
than the (not much smaller) 5" phone. I already have a 4" Samsung 
Android phone and that comes with a contract which allows phone 
upgrades. But I don't think I'd want my phone to be bigger just for the 
sake of a little larger (but still small) display screen.

It is fair comment that I might as well not carry around the phone AND a 
tablet. I was thinking more of having a screen large enough for reading, 
and watching films, yet still small enough for a jacket pocket.

At home I usually use a laptop, and might use the tablet if I want to 
move around. A larger tablet would be OK for that, but not so convenient 
when I travel, or to use as a camera. For me the 7" ones seem to be an 
ideal compromise, but I accept I must be in a minority.

Tim.
