How many different ways are you going to say 7" form factor?

Also, I'd argue that this:
Better optimized tablet apps

...can overcome any number of advantages on the other side.

I'm not sure what you were hoping to gain with this, but listing features and then tallying them up into a final number doesn't do anything to compare the devices.

We could also say thank you to the OP for taking the time to type all this up as opposed to being condescending... no use in offering negative criticism if we're not going to couple it with some positive. Readers can now take the lists at face value and assess which device works better for them based on how much value each reader places on either list.

Thanks, OP!
