My Eee PC was touted for its portability when it first came out, and it has almost exactly the same heft (weight as well as dimensions) as a 6x9 hardback book of medium size, and I like it like that.
5x7 sounds like a good intermediate tradeoff between the iPhone and current tablet technology (thinking of the Kindle and its sequelae as well as the iPad). Were ansibles to exist, I imagine they'd be that size or thereabouts.
