Congratulations to Reflection Technology for a clever and sexy product.
However, I worry a little when I see things like this...

I can just see some bozo driving down the road with this thing over
one eye. Of course, who needs depth perception for good driving?  :-)
An I thought mobile phone stupidity was bad.

Also, despite what all the experts may say about eyestrain, people didn't
evolve using their two eyes to look at two entirely different things, so
you're unlikely to get off scot free doing so. Prudence would suggest not
using the display for hours at a time.
