The age old debate of “does size matter” rages on only this time we are all talking tablets. Does the size of the tablet or the screen really make that much different to the user? Will it make or break a product? Or even a brand? Let’s look at the breath of sizing out there- for months we have been hearing about the possibility of a larger Kindle Fire or a smaller
iPad however the vast majority of tablets seem to fall into two camps the 7inch (Samsung and PlayBook) and the 10inch (iPad).
To my mind the 10 inch tablets are designed for mobile use but indoors, this would explain why the
vast majority of iPad users buy the 3G version but only ever use the wifi option. Conversely the 7 inch tablets seem to be to be the truly “mobile” tablet designed to fit snugly in jeans or suit pocket while still be able to consume and read far more data than is possible on a Smartphone.
So what if anything is the perfect size for a tablet? The answer to this is simple there isn’t one! What consumers and enterprises alike should ask themselves is what is the right tablet size for us??
