fastpathguru,

IMHO the tablet form factor is about focusing on a "pure" client or "information consumer" experience, not so much simply being compact. Very much an "electronic magazine" for casual use.
...
Like a magazine, 8.5x11" is a widely accepted aesthetic, and you'll see later generations of tablets pushing up the screen size and attempting to squeeze the bezel out of the device, towards the ideal of an "interactive sheet of paper."

You are on the right track. A couple of points:

1) You state the tablet as primarily an information "consumer" ( i.e. read only ) and yet the goal is for "interactivity"? I agree that is the goal, but do you think the iPad or similar devices come close?

2) Continuing with the line of thinking. If you had a "interactive sheet of paper", what would you be missing, in order to be productive? [Hint: what if you had a plain sheet of paper? ]

IMHO
