Said someone with no understanding of the needs of the average tablet consumer. Sure, 16:9 is nice for watching movies, but tablets are more than just glorified digital photo frames. For the many tasks better suited to portrait orientation, 4:3 is preferable. It's also slightly more "honest" in that it provides more screen real estate for the same diagonal length: the iPad mini's 7.9-inch 4:3 screen has a area of 30 square inches, the equivalent of an 8.4-inch 16:9 display.
