Even there... I have RSI severe enough that I can't use conventional keyboards for more than a minute or two without pain and have to read most trade paperbacks and hardbacks flat on a table because I can't lift them for very long. But even for me, the Oasis 2 and 3 are (just) light enough to hold for long periods without trouble -- the saving grace being that you can easily move them from hand to hand. The Oasis 1 was so light I could hold it in one hand indefinitely, but it was also *so* light that it could easily fly out of my hand from the jolts of, say, walking, and go crashing to the ground (getting a little more damaged every time).
So... possibly the v1 was *too* light? With a skin to cover the terrible metal back, the Oasis v3 is definitely ergonomic from my perspective (oh, also, don't forget the primary definition of "ergonomic": "looks different and costs a lot more". The Oasis certainly satisfies *that* ;} )
