Whether a 7" tablet is going to be big enough from across the room is
going to depend very much on you and your eye sight. Subjectively they
are quite a bit bigger than the screen on the Touch. But of course a 10"
is quite a bit bigger.

Erland has a really nice "now playing" android app called "Squeeze
Display" that is designed specifically for the case where you want to
use an android tablet to show what is currently playing, it's NOT a
controller, it just shows the current song. If all you want is something
to be able to see the current song from across the room it works great.
The one caveat is that it has to be at least android 2.1. I did quick
check and there are quite a few inexpensive 7" tablets that run 4.0
which should work great with this app. But there are also a fair number
of cheap 7" tablets that run 1.8 or 2.0, so make sure the one you have
runs at least 2.1.
