Re: This
"I suppose if your already-ludicrously-oversized phablet still isn't big enough for you, one that folds out to twice the size might be just what you need; it would be big enough to hide your face behind if you're feeling embarrassed. "
considering the number of ipads you see people wandering about with, phablets are too small...for some..
this is about form and ease of carrying..no need to be ashamed of your small one...
