Any one else already sick of the Ipad?

[TonyB0D]

Is the strain any different than what people get from using a laptop or computer all day?

or looking at a TV, or computer, etc.  brian's just a blatant apple-hater, so obviously you can ONLY get eye-strain frmo the ipad

It wasn't Brian first of all.

I look at a computer a good portion of the day and eyes need a break. I can't imagine then relaxing with a book which is going to further strain my eyes. For me, and my terrible eyesight, this causes nasty headaches. I was just throwing a warning out there. The e-readers are not backlit.

I assumed that the glare is no different.

Sportschick, my doctor recommended the anti-glare coating on my glasses to help with strain from looking at the computer. Would that help your headaches?

And you're just an apple-lover who will buy anything they release.  They could put a turd in a box and put an apple on the top and people will line up the day its released. 

I'm sick of the blind favor this company gets from the public for no good reason.

i'm an apple-lover?  buy anything?  i'm an audio engineer so i own 1 laptop for audio/recording stuff.  i also have an ipod touch that my friend gave to me...you just blatantly hate for no reason.

I don't personally know any apple early-adopters.  I know a fanboy or two, but nobody who buys the stuff right away.

As I see more of it, I like Apple's things more and more.  I find their PCs lacking, but that's probably because I'm just used to PCs and how they work.  I know the shortcuts and stuff.

As for small devices, nothing matches an iPhone, in my opinion.  Other people try to show me their phone and how it can do all of the same things and more, but I have never been convinced.

Apple has a way of making this technically great stuff, with the mix of making it easy to use.

Doesn't do a thing and it's just an extra expense for nothing. I have found that for me, it makes zero difference in glare

I find that Apple and the iPhone in particular tend to have useless apps just because people think they are cool. I know someone who has one and once she was looking at an app that highlighted spots on the road where speed traps have been set before. I told her that I have driven that road for 10 years so I already know the police sit there. Also we were travelling down the highway once and she was looking at the map/GPS on her phone and she kept saying, "I can't tell where we are." I told her that if she looked out the window she would realize we were passing Lee Road. It is a cool little toy, but I want a phone.

I paid extra for anti-glare lenses on my glasses and have found it a worthwhile expense.

I paid for the anti-glare after complaining of headaches and didn't have any issues after getting it. I generally wear my contacts now, but when my eyes are bothering me I switch back to my glasses. (At the time, I wore my glasses exclusively at work.)

I'll wait for the second generation of iTurd...I hear they're going to give it "steamy" functionality.

Nice pic though, B...

It does help for most, for me, it didn't do anything. I wear my glasses 90% of the time. My eye doc said it's probably because of the degree of my astigmatism.

OT - I had an astigmatism in both of my eyes since I was around 8 or 9. This past eye exam, my left eye no longer has an astigmatism. My doc said that's quite odd but he double checked and that eye is just nearsighted now. Weird.

Once I get my glasses updated, I will probably wear my glasses more often. I generally only wear my contacts on the days I run. I feel like I see much better on computers, etc with my glasses. (This might not be so with the astigmatism thing now.)
