I only stoop, squint, bend and strain whilst using my iPhone 4S with its' lovely 3.5" screen (or, when I'm on the loo-loo having a rough time; yet sometimes whilst engaging in the two activities simultaneously). However, when I'm using my Samsung dis-CHARGE there's no straining of any kind on my part. Currently, I am engaged simultaneously in the two aforementioned acts above.

Just honest input (or, right now, output) from a loyal reader.

I'm not a fan of using voice recognition to text while driving. I tried it a few times and found that even using voice commands, it was way to distracting for me, so I stopped doing it. I'll just text after I reached my destination.

I've actually seen similar charts on TV watching. What can one do about it? Next to nothing, so I'm not going to worry about it...
