1. Incredible design (as always w/ Apple). Amazing fit & finish, and a true pleasure to hold and behold. Also super-fluid, breathtakingly fast, uber-responsive feel. That new A4 chip must be magic.

2. Heavier than I expected. Hard to hold for any length of time one-handed.

3. Gets smudgy as all hell, and harder to wipe on a t-shirt sleeve than the iPhone b/c of the much larger screen.

4. The iBooks app is neat. The page curl effect actually changes based on where you drag the page (such attention to detail!).

5. The virtual keyboard is surprisingly usable, especially in landscape mode.

6. Still not sure how best to hold it. It’s too flat to be used like a laptop, but too heavy to be used like a book.

7. On a similar topic, you really need to get the Apple flip-top case, both for protection and to prop the iPad up. However, unlike most Apple stuff, it’s kinda fugly.

8. Crazy-good battery life. They weren’t lying when they claimed 10 hours! Of course, the ginormous battery is probably part of the reason why it weighs so much.

9. The apps are nicely adapted to the bigger screen, but still a little lacking. Also MIA from the iPhone: Calculator, Voice Recorder, Weather, Stocks.

10. You get the sense that the best is yet to come. It’s a touchscreen with a button, and the magic will increase as newer, better apps are developed. Lots of untapped potential here (pardon the pun).
