I love my iTouch, but it's size is one of the most appealing aspects. The fact that it does so much in such a small package is amazing. I've got pretty big hands, but I can't think of a way to utilize the iPad in a way that I wouldn't constantly feel as though I could drop it at any moment. It's cheaper than I figured it'd be when I first saw pics, though I'd be devastated if I dropped and damaged it.
I resisted Apple for years - didn't even want an iPod when my Mom offered to buy me one for Christmas a few years ago. Too much money for something I planned to use while mountain biking, didn't want to get it wet, etc... And the Sansa Fuse I bought for riding works perfect. But after trying out an iPhone, then my Mom's iTouch, I changed my tune. I've had mine for over a year, it's easily one of the coolest, most problem-free gadgets I've ever owned. I'm now convinced that if you're an iDevice hater, you've either never tried one, you didn't give it a chance or couldn't figure it out, or you're a tech snob that simply hates Apple.
