Pictures: The iPad Being Manhandled

Okay, we've all seen the iPad now. We've read all about it . We've seen video of it in action. But how is it to actually hold? I took a bunch of pictures of people playing with it in the demo pit today after Apple's event. The consensus amongst those I talked to? It's actually quite comfortable. I played with one myself for a bit and have to agree. While it's nowhere near as light as a Kindle, it feels much more solid and because it's significantly larger, is easier to hold with two hands. But it's also light enough that holding it with one hand is not a burden. And it's extremely thin. Plus, unlike the Kindle, you can easily swap between portrait and landscape positions.
