Anyone else like the whole wearable computer thing, or is it just me?

I have followed wearable computer development for  10 years now and I must say that nothing much is happening. Its still the same old linuxusers running strippeddown linux variants.

What is needed completely new UI
Preferably one that uses sound just as much as it uses text and graphics. Otherwise your $2000-rigg will be smashed when you stumble around trying to focus on your HMD.
The UI should also adopt to different modes off usage like
-audio only
-audio and wristwatchlike display
-audio and hmd
-full desktopscreen
etc

Now the big question is when we will be able to do this in AROS running on a mobileITX or similar?:-P
Apple did it right the first time, bring back the Newton!

Having said that, building a wearable Minimig is my personal dream for the device, here's hoping this becomes a reality.

Thats an idea.
Another idea is that the http://gumstix.com/ needs a video capable companion for those telnet/SSH-sessions on the run.Using the gumstix as a personal wearable server like the one intel experimented with and the minimig as a I/O-device.
