I’m Still Not Convinced

The Galaxy Tab 8.9 exists in a gadget niche so small we weren’t convinced it needed to exist. Despite that, the thing fills it admirably well. Given the choice between taking along this guy or its bigger sibling we’d almost universally take the 8.9.

The difference between a smartphone and a 7-inch tablet is class-defining. There is also a massive chasm between a 7″ and 10″ tablet — the former is roughly the size of an A5 notebook, and the latter is closer to A4. But the difference between either 7 or 10 inches and 8.9 is marginal. Why bother?
