 yeah i'd thought about that.  it's not exactly superfluous, would
make a great stand-alone device.  my only concern is the popularity of
such small form-factor devices.  they're not exactly the most
wonderful things in the world, unless they actually provide some
useful function.  archos video players for example are surprisingly
popular.  mobile phones, obviously.  tablets that small can act as
VoIP phones as long as they have WIFI.  etc. etc.

 so the key question is: what market segment(s) would the pocket-sized
"tablet" cover?
