I was at a Best Buy this past weekend, and I got my first look at an iPad. Best Buy had a wi-fi connection so people could surf the internet. When I first picked it up, I was surprised at the weight of the iPad. It’s surprisingly heavy for how thin it is. When surfing, I held it in one hand and use the other hand to navigate, and my arm started to tire after holding it up for a while. It also looks smaller than what I’ve seen in the promotional pictures. It was only as big as my hands side by side, and I have small hands for an adult. The one thing the iPad has going for it is a very clear, bright screen. I could easily see what I was looking for and read without difficulty. I do still have to wonder if glare would be an issue if you have it in a different environment. The only reason I would buy an iPad is for the e-reader. I like the idea of being able to read a variety of books from one device easily. But even the e-reader seems to be missing a crucial feature; the ability to highlight passages. There are bookmarks, but no highlight feature that I could see. That might be a deal breaker.
