I wouldnt worry about the apps, that looks like it is going to be resolved very quickly. But yeah the screen size is simply a preference.. I like the better portability of the 7inch screen.
I really hope you know what you're talking about. How is the apps situation getting resolved very quickly?
Yes, we are getting OS 2.0 update to fix built-in app situation and Android app compatibility. It will improve, but I don't see a quick fix coming up anytime soon.
