Tennis Elbow??

I love my iPad. But, all dirty jokes aside, has anyone else developed a sore elbow? I hold it with my left hand, and interact with my right, which is why the stress is only in my right elbow. Probably from holding it so closely and using the muscles around the bent elbow more than usual.

I'm not complaining, I can adjust. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this?

iPad 64GB, iPhone 3G, Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4 GBs of ram

I have the same problem, but the pain is in reverse order: a sore left elbow which is the hand I use to hold my iPad while typing with my right hand.

I've got sore wrists, right-hand finger joints are sore too.

I Have developed the same problem. I hold my iPad with my left-hand and type with my right. I have developed pain in the left elbow and the muscles/tendons extending down to my left wrist. It *****. I'm sure part of the problem is my new iPad case, its much heavier than my old case so I'm changeing it out and also going to spend far less time on the iPad.
