You're on the right track, but make sure you try your wide screen while using the virtual keyboard in landscape mode--you've suddenly run out of screen! That's why Apple went 4:3 on iPad. That, and I think they were going for a work slate feel (like a letter sized pad) rather than simply aping the look of 'widescreen'. Widescreen is ok on desktops or laptops because you're not expected to rotate those. But you're right, watching movies is only a small portion of what you'll probably be doing with a slate tablet device. Too many people get hung up on the idea that screen real-estate is somehow being wasted if a movie is ever presented as letterbox. People are strange sometimes.
