We have two iPods (2nd and 4th gen), and my parent's both have Droid Razr M's. The iPods don't feel awkwardly small when I hold them, but when I try to use them, it just feels difficult. The Droid Razr M's are 4.3 inches, and they feel like a pretty good size. I agree that a phablet would be way too big. I'd only get one in place of a tablet. 5 inches isn't too big IMO, though. It's probably the limit, but I don't think it feels awkward to hold. 4.8 inches is probably my preference, but it'd be hard to say for sure unless I use both sizes a lot.

I'm glad you brought up the iPad Mini, because I wanted to talk about it. I'm anxious to see whether Apple actually tries to compete with the other 7 inch tablets, or if they just try and go for profit like they did with the first iPad Mini. The first one really could hardly even compete with the older Nexus 7, and even the Kindle Fire HD. They still made a lot of money off it, though, so I'm wondering if they'll do that again, or try to make it as powerful as the bigger iPad.

BTW, if bigger is better for tablets, then Android wins. The iPad is only 9.7 inches, but most Android tablets are 10.1.
