Screen size dictates the size of the package. Size of the package dictates memory size, battery capacity and processor. These all dictate the devices' ability to compute. It takes less "computer ability" to display SENC vector charts versus quilting rasters.
an interesting article by Nigel Calder (a bit dated but still related to this discussion) on raster vs vector with an intriguing comparison of raster vs vector on the ICW....
