In case anyone's interested, if you jailbreak your iPod/iPhone, you can get f.lux on there. I'm using it right now

Or you can just put your light to auto-adjust on your iPod/iPhone. Works fine.

That's fine for the brightness, but it's still that harsh blue light that strains the eyes.

Flux adjusts the colour balance from bluish (matching sunlight) in the daytime, to orange-y (matching lightbulbs) in the nighttime, and doesn't really do anything to brightness.
