The new Apple Store in Glasgow also had some demo units when I was in yesterday. I really wanted to like it, but found the interface a little bit too sluggish; the accelerometer didn't always recognise me turning it over, and I found typing to be a right pain.
It is very shiny though... (Also, the people of Glasgow either don't seem to have realised - or are too polite - to clog up the MacBooks and iMacs checking their email, or online banking, or the like. Quite handy if you actually want to buy something.)
