Haven't seen it, but I have seen similar ones, but none as cool as that. They should just make it incorporated into sunglasses, the technology is already out there, and no one would steal it from right in front of your eyes. Either way, I can't say I would have a problem having one.

Pricey, but very cool.  I'll wait for a price drop, but it is very, very, very, cool.

my exact words....yeah w/ all that money, u sure could buy u a nice sysem (case, monitor, all the worx) and have it be really fast as well!  But man how cool that would be, u could drive and be posing on NetSmog all at the same time...sure it aint the brightest thing to do, but its possible!!!  ;D  I am sure that it already has some type of keyboard that is assosiated w/ it.  Im guessing that it is like the quadrafold one that the Palm's come with.

I like the idea about working on it, but with all the electronics we have in today's cars this would be the ultimate distraction.

Don't get me wrong, it is very cool and I would like one. The price is a problem for me.


There have been more computers like this. This one is one of the least expensive of all of them.
They usually went for about $3000.

I am going to wait until they go mainstream. Like what I said to DSL 5 years ago; but I still don't have DSL

The quadrafold keyboards turned out to be a failure, but the thumbboards look promising and convenient. I would guess that would be used until voice dictation becomes more efficient.

yeah once the voice activation thing comes out...keyboards will definatley be a thing of the past!!! Although, they sure will be a lot more expensive, but so were many electroics that were of the past, but now are ver affortable!!!

yeah, umm I think I'll be sticking with the keyboard even if voice activation becomes standard. Cause I tend to type faster then I talk, considering I have a speech problem (I stutter)

oh and before anyone makes any smart remark about that, remember I'm a moderator and remember netsmog rule #19

"-Netsmog.com also reserves the right to ban any user, at any time, and for any reason."

Have a good day
