"everything on the GamePad looks and handles great. It was one of my biggest concerns going into E3, but I can now leave knowing the Wii U has a tablet controller that is both functional and comfortable. Whew!"
Will people read this or ignore it?

It has been confirmed to be fully wireless.
Also, and slightly unrelated, your Wii game downloads can be transferred to wiiu. Full details weren't given though.

Those bumps on the back make it look a lot more comfortable than the completely flat original model.
Umm... How is the screen on the controller? Is it as sharp and sexy as the OLED screen that the Vita is using, or way sexier?
@Oishidesu,
The screen is not nearly as sexy as Vita or Apple products. It is not as bright. It still looks great, though! :)

compressible thumbsticks? Does that mean you can push them in all the way and have your self a full blown tablet?

I read it, and it sounds like a great improvement from last year. When I was "whining and trolling" about last year's nubs I warned that just because the controller is comfortable, but it might not be functional and I never got an answer from any editors if they can imagine playing street fighter 4 with those nubs. So I'm glad Nintendo made the change to sticks.

Well that's good to know. I always liked the gamepad (not too crazy about it, but thought it was cool), so it's great to hear that its comfortable and the analog sticks aren't nubbins. The instant streaming to the touchscreen is also a present surprise.
I agree with everything Chad has posted here. At first it's really weird to start touching the touchpad while also keeping your hands around the controller, but towards the end of my session with ZombiU it was incredibly natural.

"...and I can easily see myself using it to play a long game."
But not for a long period of time. 3-5 hours max pending settings? I'm guessing real world use (especially streaming off the system to the controller directly while someone else uses the TV) will be far closer to 3.

"street fighter 4 with those nubs."
When there's a D-Pad?
Who play's Fighting Games with an analog stick?
...other than 360 players; they don't really have a choice.

@daxelman and conrado
Doesn't necessarily HAVE to be street fighter 4 or even a fighting game, I was just using it as an example. Any games which require precise or rapid control stick movement, probably wouldn't fare well with the nubs. I mean can you imagine Ninja Gaiden 2 with the nubs (I would have said 3 but that game ended up being crap)

I played with it a bit today and the first thing I thought was "This thing is huge", not heavy, but just big. Then I was thinking of the Nintendo target audience and thought that it may be too much for kids little hands to reach everything they need to and still keep a grip on it.
@llort het
I can only speak for myself, but I never really had a problem with the nub on the 3DS.
I think I'm actually better with it in StarFox64, and Zelda64 3D played about the same for me. I suppose it's a preference thing.
...but I admit I'm kinda glad they changed them.

Won't matter how comfortable it is if you can't use it for more than 2 or 3 hours with the brightness at a viewable level.
Fix that battery and you've got a sale. Otherwise I won't waste my time.
@Oishidesu
Lmao. The Vita is a 960x544 (220ppi), capacitive multi-touch glass OLED display. The Wii U Tablet display is 854x480 (158ppi), resistive single-touch plastic TN LCD display. They don't even belong in the same conversation as each other.
