callus/sore digits using the iPhone?

After some use the tip of my finger became sore when using the mouse substitute on my laptop and I was wondering (with memories of playing Mario Party on my N64) is digits become weary and callused after extensive use?

Maybe Apple could design a screen with a layer of moisturiser?

Laptop, Other OS

I am assuming you haven't actually touched an iPhone. The surface is glass and it is not pressure sensitive like a track pad but sensitive to touch in some kind of electro-static way. Not sure about everyone else, but most of the time my fingers barely even make contact with the glass

okay substitute "is" for "if".

I have used an iPhone, but only in the store.

your fingers dont get tired after using the iPhone, maybe if you were attempting a world iPhone use record, but normal everyday use has not affected my fingers in any way shape or form.

Then there's the guy in a post on another forum blaming Apple for using glass because when he takes his iPhone outdoors in sub-freezing weather and then uses it, his cheek gets cold. Takes all kinds, I guess (shaking head in continuing disbelief).

Maybe I should sue Apple for causing whiplash due to all this head shaking?
