I've heard a few reviews mention how the Nexus 7 can be held with one hand "like a paperback book".
So I'm thinking the fragmenting of the tablet arena is becoming a bit more defined. The 7" isn't simply a lower priced alternative, but it is also an "easy to carry one handed" tablet; something that gives more screen real estate than a smartphone (so is easier to read or watch video on) yet still small enough to comfortably hold/balance on one hand.
Smart phone screen sizes go up to 4.7" (iPhone 4s), 4.8" (Galaxy Nexus), 5.3" (Galaxy Note)
then it jumps to the Kindle Fire/Nexus 7 and the sizes as shown in FanIn80's post.
