Hi there Eleanor, You are correct in your comparison that the iPad is similar in size to an A4 sheet of paper. The smaller device you saw was probably the iPod. This is approximately the same size as the iPhone. I sometimes find iPod and iPad can be confused, especially when listening to them being pronounced by a screen reader. On the side, I have to say that since getting my iPad earlier this year life has become far more productive, as well as reducing my dependence on a desktop computer or laptop, particularly when on the move. Hope this helps, Please note: this message was dictated using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

Hi Eleanor Yes, the iPad is larger than an iPhone. I'd say the first thing you held was an iPad as it's similar in size to an A4 sheet of paper. The smaller one you were shown could have been an iPod Touch as it is smaller than the iPhone again.
