Speaking as someone who doesn't own a tablet, but will probably get one soon, I'd be inclined to get a 7 inch one for outdoor use.  Just that bit more packable I'd guess from playing with them in shops, easier to hold for a while without straining your wrists (assuming there's nowhere you'd want to put it down).

I'm only holding off as there's apparently a new Nexus 7 model coming out in July, so waiting to see what it's got.  The current one seems to come out on top for battery life.

Every page now I get a popup ad for Blacks, stating "Win £640 worth of camping gear yadda yadda" - but when you click on it, there isn't even a competion, it just takes you to Blacks website!

Grrrrr.

If I didn't have a medium back (and too many rucksacks already ), I'd have been sorely tempted.  Now if it had been a 58...

I picked up one on Thursday and tried it out this weekend.  

Smaller than my previous pillow, but firm, which I like.  I did manage to ping it away from my under head a couple of times (think tiddlywinks) as I had it on a shiny reflective roll mat.  Reckon a blob or two of seam sealant on the underside to make it less slippery ought to sort that.
