**OT** Detroit Auto show and XYBR... Went yesterday.. other than being crowded it was quite interesting as a view into future auto applications; mirrors replaced by cameras, internet in the vehicle, fuel cells, hybrids, environment, etc... heard XYBR was in use so I was "on the lookout" ... after about 2 hours ( when I was ready to leave) I spotted them at the Ford exhibit <G> ... 5 people using XYBR to collect info from people and link it directly to the net at Ford.com... ( the people looked like the Borg... all strapped up and all)... so I talked with then and was assimilated<G> .... computer was worn on the wrist ("comfortable, I got used to it real fast, and yes light")battery lasted about 2-3 hours ("less if using video) They have video recorders attached to offer images of the show as they roam ( I was live on the net yesterday)..using it "was kinda fun"... caught a lot of peoples attention.... lots of geeks wondering what was going on..
Also,, place was absolutely full of flat panel displays for info delivery, internet access, video displays, etc...
oh yuh.. lots of babes...
