Ah! By all means. lol. It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, and I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be the last. :). Its funny, I bought a nexus 7 on Thursday because I was curious about Android accessibility, and the OS overall. I never really had a real need for a tablet. Now I got the Nexus 7, I want an iPad mini. lol. Its weird. Once I had a tablet, I started to instantly divide up tasks that was exclusively the domain of my iPhone or, my Mac. As Rick and others have mentioned, there is just some things that work better on a tablet than a Phone.
