This is definitely an issue, though it seems Samsung are pushing for something that is more easily holdable in one-hand - compare to a paperback book or a Kindle.

I haven't used one yet, but I can see this being a lot easier to hold with one hand and type with another, when in a crowded tube or train, for example.

I think the iPad's form factor makes it a nice sofa device. To be truly portable it should've been slightly smaller. There's no way—I think—to hold an iPad with your hands and use both of them for interacting. One needs to support it with one's legs to fully use both hands.
