The iPad sounds icky, big and a little weird to me

The iPad sounds icky to me. PAD? I mean it's something a girl uses on her rag days.
Where were the female marketing people on this one?

"Oh look I have my iPad on me." It just calls for a double take or someone going....a what???

The iPad's multi-touch screen is 10-inches, is a concern, it won't fit in my bag, huge!it's magazine size. Why so big, it's not very "handy". Just look at Steve hold the thing! It's so big! I can't imagine how I would look holding it. But it might be good for magazine readers to read magazines on it??

Yes, I am concerned about the iPad's bulky size, but I want my memoir Almost 5'4", which I wrote at the Apple Store, on iBooks.
