    There’s been a recent interesting trend in the tablet market: devices 8 inches and smaller that are as powerful as their bigger cousins but considerably more portable and convenient. In this episode of Fly Or Die we talk about the mid-size trend and decide whether a smaller tablet makes for a better tablet.

    The devices we discussed, the Motorola Xyboard 10-inch and 8-inch, are interesting because they are approximately the same device but in a slightly different form factor. It’s worth noting that I like the 8-inch better than the 10 and would even posit that a smaller, 7-inch iPad would be a hit. Here’s hoping.
