The 7in, 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen is a much more eye-friendly choice than the smaller screens fitted to other devices such as Apple's iPod, but you're unlikely to have a pocket big enough to comfortably hold the 182 x 128 x 20mm (7 x 5 x 0.8in), 630g (22oz) device - unless you're wearing a winter coat.
