On the upside, she found the UI highly intuitive (even managing to "enlarge some of her favorite iPhone-legacy apps"). On the downside, she lamented the lack of a camera and experienced the same frustration as many adults, where accidentally touching the screen-edge with your thumb (while holding the iPad) prevents further input.
