It's hardly huge
I think it's a little too thin, can be quite uncomfortable if you have long fingers like me. Still prefer it to the old remote though. Only thing its missing is a laser pointer.
Got a tip for us?

The dedicated Play/Pause button is nice if you want to pause the audio while navigating through the menus without having to go back to the Now Playing screen. The subtle design of the concave surface for just the middle click and menu buttons are great.

Well, if huge equals fat, you are obviously right. Maybe I should've said tall, sorry English is not my native language ;-)
Anyway I still don't like the form factor too much, regardless of how you call it
I like the battery compartment. The old remotes was bad. In one I had the battery shifted a tiny tiny bit and now I can't open it without breaking the battery holder.
I'm so glad I found/pounced on this thread, I've been looking for pics all over teh interwebz but to no avail. Thank you for sharing, now I must get one.

Lol your searching skills are not that good then..
I wanted real life pics and all i got on google was the usual stock photo.
PS: they really aren't anyway.
Just ordered mine today with the gift wrapping option. It's not a gift...Just thought it'd be cool to have that cool Apple box
However, it's scheduled to arrive on the 14th...of December! Hopefully that changes.
