Would You Rather Buy A Tablet Or A Phablet?

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 vs Nexus 7. In the great pantheon of no brainer questions, this has to rank in the top ten. At least when asked of the FutureLawyer, that is. In the immortal words of Deion Sanders, when asked whether he would play professional baseball or football,  I say BOTH! The more I use and work with modern mobile technology, the more I realize that my Holy Grail search for the perfect device is an impossible task. It's about the journey, not the destination. There has been an inexorable shift to making mobile devices as large as possible without making them unwieldy. The shift to thinner, lighter devices has made screen size the one thing that can be made larger without making the devices less mobile ready. So, each person will have a point beyond which they don't want to carry a device. I think the 7 inch tablets is the form that I prefer for carrying around, and eating content on the go. However, I also like a 4.8 inch smartphone in my pocket for phone functions, and using as a WiFi hotspot for the tablet. I will get a phablet with a 5.5 inch screen (probably the Note 2) and test it. If it works for both functions, I might carry it alone sometimes. But, the whole idea is having a choice. I foresee a future in which we carry mobile computing devices the way we choose our daily wardrobe. Sometimes I wear jeans and a T-shirt. Sometimes I wear a suit and tie. Occasion appropriate computing. There's a concept I can wrap my brain around.
