Simply not true, I have a 64GB VivoTab that has at least 23GB storage remaining AFTER installing Adobe CS5 creative suite ( Indesign, PS, Dreaweaver, Illustrator, Bridge etc ). And I haven’t removed the recovery partition yet ( around 9GB )
Even if I did run out of space, I can get a cheap as chips microSD card to DOUBLE the storage.

Why isn’t the video at 1080p resolution?

Ah, so I could have the puck sitting on the coffee table. Could work I suppose.

I wonder if you can do this from the couch to a PC connected to your TV. Would be great if I don’t have to pull out my keyboard every time I want to do something.

You’ve kind of proved my point here in a round-about way.
Look at all that room on the sides, by filling that space up with snapview you could keep an eye on your current torrent downloads, display what music you’re currently playing, or even have a website up to cross-reference against what you’re reading…. Productivity!

To assume that I haven’t used a variety of resolutions is a bit short-sighted. I use a 27" iMac daily at work (2560×1440) and have previously used dual 24" 1920×1080 displays. My tablet is for on the road/couch use.
We seem to have digressed from my original post, in which I stated why 16:9 is best (in my opinion) for tablet use, as it allows for enough horizontal space for snapview, along with superior viewing for movies (although 16:10 does sound like a nice compromise)
Once again, it all comes down to what you use it for. If you mostly watch video content on your tablet and like to do some work on regular apps like I do, 16:9 (or possibly 16:10) is the best fit.
I you mostly read books, you may be better off with an eink solution, as the batteries last longer and its not a strain on the eyes.

I think we’re arguing about what each other personally uses as if it’s the best for everyone, which is just not the case. The most common desktop/laptop screen resolution is 1366×768, 16:9. Fact.

While it is a single feature, its arguably one of the most useful features that I feel isn’t taken into consideration, just because the competition can’t do it… The only reading I do on my tablet is on websites, and I’ve found that I will always gravitate towards landscape viewing. This includes when I use my partners iPad.
I suppose it comes own to what you use your tablet for… Portrait use is horrible for most of the apps I use, just try using Photoshop, any html editor or illustrator in portrait. There is a reason why a vast majority of desktops use 16:9.

Paul has as much right to smoke as you do to try and push your opinion on him. Luckily he doesn’t have to listen, just as you don’t have to inhale his second-hand smoke.
As long as smokers are aware of the risks, they should every right to smoke. The same should go for any other substance we choose to put in our body.
PS. I don’t smoke. But thats MY choice, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Weather Flow automatically updates for me if I set the live tile to ‘Current Location’.
And its the best looking weather App I’ve seen.
