The elusive “one device” goal! All the smarter for Apple giving people the choice.

Bud, I completely agree with you on web browsing on the 7″ screen. I’ve done it in a pinch, but I much prefer my 10″ iPad screen for that.

While I was at a conference this week, I was playing around with someone’s Mini, and while it was nice, I don’t think I could use it to get down to one device. She was using it in my social media seminar to work on Facebook in the browser, and after struggling with finding and tapping the gear to change accounts she was posting as, I was loving my 10″ that much more.

One critical thing that I think that the screen size of the 7″ misses on is web browsing. I’m using an iPad mini and, not withstanding its resolution, is a great balance for just about everything, including web browsing. I’d say the only real compromise is with writing, but for reading it’s quite good and it feels like an infinite book with the web, articles from Longform, blog posts from feedly, books from the books apps, the newspaper, and so on.

For me, the Nexus is the perfect ereader-cum on-the-go productivity device. If I wanted to do really serious work for an extended period, I might plump for a bigger screen, but on the other hand, I’ve already done loads on the Nexus. Go-anywhere access makes a lot of difference. Contemplating a bigger tablet for home productivity, but I’m already using an Android PC-on-a-stick (Rikomagic) for home entertainment.

The iPad is used for three things in my house:

1. FIFA 13, Need For Speed
2. Testing
3. Bugs and Buttons
