Glare only adds to problem. IF they've been able to overcome this, I'll be highly impressed.
Out of curiosity, why can't LCD screens not have glare? My Dell 24" IPS monitor has a matte screen and NO GLARE AT ALL. Is it that matte screens can't be touchscreen? That seems odd, given that my Sony touch readers aren't glossy.

I just don't get why tablets all have to have a high glare glossy screen. Surely we have the technology to make a matte screen tablet?

At any rate, the main interest the Vox has for me is the screen. My eyes HATE glare and so far, there is no tablet I've found that they can be comfortable with. As for the Pulse feature that the review went on and on about, meh. Could care less. Glad to know it can be shut off. I hope the weather improves so they can tell us more about the screen.
