Yeah but how are you going to angle the screen at a good viewing angle? Are you going to lay it flat in your lap? Not the best angle. Are you going to hold it up with both hands for the duration of the movie? Not the most comfortable thing to do.

This is actually my biggest problem with the device. For something with a bigger screen it doesn't account for the fact that you are normally sitting in a position where you need the screen angled in a certain way to view it properly. Like a laptop.
