The BlazerJet technically enhanced jacket.

Designed by HPLabs for the fashionable geek-about-town.

You've got the whole cyber, wearable, contextual thing going on here. And of course it runs on Linux. The ensemble includes a discrete earpiece that transmits directions and other information from the computer. Day-glo yellow stripes increase visibility to passing drivers in case you forget to look first.

Just about everyone owns a jacket, so obviously the potential market is huge. Maybe they'll have it in leather by the time the storefront ping beacons are in place.
