Comment on Ask HN: Has the iPad Won the Tablet Wars?parent

Comments

I looked up escutcheon and I still don't know what annoys you.

The margins around the edge, between the device edge and screen edge, where you can hold the tablet. These were large in the original iPad making actually holding the device and not accidentally touching the screen easy. Since then the iPad has shrunk the non-display edge width considerably, and other tablets always had narrow widths. Looks gorgeous, but makes actually using the thing annoying. You can hold phones in one hand from behind and there's no problem with edge-to-edge screens.
