I know that.. But I mean Your list is ridiculous.. 1.1:1 Isn't going to be remotely different to 1.0:1.. Get some realistic results such as 4:3, 16:9, 16:10 etc..

Saw the list. Made no sense to me since I don't recognise aspect ratios in that way. Can't be bothered to research and analyze. Ain't taking the poll for that reason. Sorry.

Piggie nailed it so I would chose 4:3 or 16:10 for tablet use because of browsing and reading documents. Video will fit in there anyway. But if it were wide screen 16:9 made for video, documents/web would become squished and very annoying to read. That's one of the main reasons other touch tablets/iPad killer fail!

I updated the first post yesterday with a list of common formats and their equivalents.

Not only that the reviewers that get prerelease sample of those other craptacular widescreen tablet wannabes say they are awkward to hold.
 
I want whichever 16:10(I think that's 1:6:1). I'm okay with the ipads ratio, but 16:10 would be infinitely better IMO
And if Apple ever makes a 16:9 MacBook Pro, I'll stay with my current one forever.
