Wait if you will....I certainly didn't buy the first iPhone. Just wanted to comment that the 10hr battery life was conservative. It's essentially an infinite battery. Lasts all day with heavy use (between myself and my 3 daughters)....plug it in at night. I never turn it off and I've yet to have to stop using it in order to charge it.
It's not as light as a 6" ebook reader. The weight issue disappeared (for me) when I got the case. I never actually have to hold it up in the air for any length of time. It's either resting on my lap, legs, belly or table.
Having an iPhone (love mine) does not mean you have an iPad....no more than saying one has a laptop and therefore doesn't need an ipad (ok, no one NEEDS an iPad). Actually, I pretty much only use my iPhone as a phone now, and an iPod. I no longer use it as a "portable computer, couch surfer, ereader" around the house. Frankly, I'm considering going back to a dumb phone and saving the $30/mo I pay for the data plan.
