Poll: Which size iPad do you want most.

[Piggie]

The iMac's screen is only in landscape. The iMac doesn't have an on-screen keyboard. You can resize windows on the iMac (I never use pretty much any app full screen).

When typing in landscape if the iPad were 16:9 you'd have the keyboard fill almost the whole screen. In portrait the keyboard would be even more cramped.

And again, what would happen to the apps?

Apologies, I don't think I perhaps made myself clear.

I'm not saying I want anything taken "off" the height of the current design to make it 16:9 which is what I think you think I am saying.

I want "extra" added to either side of the current display.

In landscape (as most people admit to using) you would have "extra" pixels either side of the current screen (perhaps about 1.5" wider each side)

So basically make the iPad bigger and heavier?

Also if you have extra pixels on the side the keyboard either has to be stretched or it has to be bigger and keep the same ratio but then you get the same problem all over again.

Ahh, right, so iMac's should not be 16:9 then either?

No I don't think the Macs should be 16:9 either. It isn't a productive ratio. 16:10 is better.

Anyway, this isn't the thread for aspect war. I have posted the Aspect Poll now, where you can make that case:

If I wanted an ultra-portable, I would use my iPod Touch. 9.7" is the perfect size for me and 11" or so is too big (might as well use my laptop then).
