    I own an iPad, and just feel it's a 'touch' too big. Just a touch. It's definitely too heavy, that's for certain. It's actually the no.1 complaint I see from iPad owners - weight. And you need to be an owner of the device to understand that. The easiest way to change the weight is to make it smaller, but I don't make by much, that's why I'm talking about shaving off .7".



    "shaving" off will cost batteryspace and thus battery time. A 7" screen isn't really using much less energy compared to a 9,7".

    I have an iPad and I think it's current battery time is more important than a little less weight or a smaller screen.

    To you it may feel a touch too big, but me and other users really dissagree.

    Provide examples? Better still - define "better"?

    Typical AI forum poster response. Rude, unable to look past you're own nose or listen to anyone else. But I forgive you. You're under Steve Jobs' spell so you can't help yourself. Ahh hah hah!!

They could knock off a little weight by removing the glass and the aluminum, but then you have a very fragile device. A 7" RIM device with the same battery life and construction quality will probably be as heavy as the iPad. Personally, I don't think the weight is an issue. Significantly lighter then my MacBook Pro.



    You are totally correct on the weight issue and on that point I suspect that Apple is working on new lighter, more powerful battery technologies.

    Not exactly. it also shaves off screen-size, which saves battery. The battery wouldn't be much different.

    Your mission seems to be to achieve 3000 by replying to the same post twice.
