I tried using this for just a few minutes, since my friend has one.
The slowness is quite staggering. For example, there was a copy of a dictionary on it; I tried to use Search to find a word (since paging through from "A" would be ridiculous) and it took like 20 seconds to show ANY results. This kind of functionality isn't just unacceptable, it's so bad that the Search function might as well not exist.
The ability to hold it in one hand (albeit with stretched fingers) was nicer than the iPad; but since there's no practical way to use that same hand to operate the device it doesn't really matter. When I have to stop and use both hands to operate a smaller device or a larger one, I would prefer to just have the larger one.
