I agree. It’s only useful for sight impared people. Knew this review was coming up. Horrible device for sight privilaged people, good device for sight-impared people.

Agreed. I’m highly against this product being on the commercial market though.

Also 10 hours is a lie. More like 6 hours if you’ve ever used Apple products.
