i am a huge fan of the 10" form factor. 12" is too big. that would have absolutely prevented me from buying one. i have a 1st gen pro, and i definitely want another 10" when i upgrade.
this is just bad and lazy parenting. give the kid an ipad to shut it up and keep it busy, instead of putting in more effort,
these kids are going to be effed up and will be a huge drain on the rest of us.
