It is a trade-off John.
The NYTimes article you found talks about 3 screens, one of which is
mobile. The trade-off is that my iPhone fits into a pocket and I can
take it anywhere. If it were the size of the Kindle that would be a
big problem.
That being said, I believe there is a gaping hole in the marketplace
for a somewhat larger mobile device with something like a 7 inch
diagonal screen. This device "could" include a phone, but I think it
would make more sense as an iPod Touch than a phone. It would be a
game player, Internet browser (when WiFi is available), a personal
music and video player, and would work better than the current iPod
Touch as "electronic paper" (i.e. Kindle).
I like big screens too, but there is a lot of elegance and
practicality in a small device that is highly portable.
By the way, I almost NEVER do e-mail on my iPhone, although this is a
very popular feature for traveling business folks. But I do have it
configured so that I can receive messages if I need to when away from
my notebook computer.
Regards
Craig
