Size of Droid X
I just played with my brother-in-law's Droid X and that phone is huge. In between 7 inch tablets and 5 inch phones, the distinction between the two devices is blurring. I would say that the Android camp is betting that the iPad is one device too many for most people and that most people would prefer these mid-sized tablets. What is your take?

The Droid X is 4.3" same as the EVO and several other larger phones on the market today, including some WP7 phones. I think that is the largest you can easily fit in your pocket that the mass market would accept. I don't think I would really even consider a 4.3" phone as it is just too big for my taste. Though to me the iPad argument you make, if I understand it correctly, is wrong. When I buy/use my iPad I did so because I knew I would be getting a very different experience between the 3" screen of my iPhone and the 10" screen of the iPad. I think it is a lot harder for the Android makers or even Blackberry to push a 7" screen to compliment a 3-4.3" screen.
