My feelings also. A friend has a Nexus 7, and I've played with it a couple of times: while it's a nice piece of kit, I really can't figure out how I'd fit it into my life as someone who already has a reasonably sized smartphone and a 10" tablet.

It obviously works really well for some people, but it's a form factor in search of a question for me.

For me it's exactly the other way around, I have a 10" tablet but I always found 10" too big. I had a rooted Nook Color for a while which was just perfect in size, but it's just too under powered as a tablet.
