Yep, a 7" inch would be too small. I am hoping for iPad 3 that they will
double the resolution to 2048x1536, which would result in a much sharper
display. Having said that the current iPad screen is extremely good being an
IPS screen. Its viewing angle is fantastic in both portrait and landscape mode.

I agree, my wife "borrows" my iPad all the time to play Farmville! And my
two daughters fight over it. 

I played "Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP" last night on the iPad and
never since ICO for the PS2 have I been so impressed with a game. The
soundtrack and 8bit art is just amazing.

As a tip for the iPad, download Frotz for the iPad and some classic Infocom
images and you can play those classic text adventures. Man alive;
Hitchhikers, Leather Goddess, A Mind Forever Voyaging and the Lurking Horror
where EPIC.
