Humbly report, JDN, the link works for me, but if you're having problems with it, try this one:

i-glasses.com

The link to the article Terry posted is about the products described in the above.

Cheers,

Televizer Takes You to
the Movies Anytime,
Anywhere

Nicci Noteboom, Associate Editor
ZDNet AnchorDesk

Part of last week I was on vacation in Hawaii. It was
great. But the flight home was a bit too bumpy for
this white-knuckle flyer. I was hoping for an
in-flight flick starring a hunk like Brad Pitt to ease
my nerves. Instead it was a three-hanky number
with Meryl Streep.

Boy, could I have used a hot new gadget called
Televizer. This portable DVD theater rocks.

Perfect for the road warrior (or the home body) the
Televizer pairs up two cool technologies -- DVD and
i-O Display System's i-glasses -- to create a portable
home theater. The glasses weigh a mere 8 ounces
and use embedded LCD and advanced optical design
to create the illusion of an 80-inch screen spaced
about 11 feet from the viewer. The glasses include
headphones and plug into a Panasonic portable DVD
player for a completely private viewing. Other
Televizer features include:

Rechargeable battery (about 3.5 hours)
Stereo sound
Compatibility with all other video sources,
such as VCRs, videogame units, other DVD
players

Here's the bad news: Televizer retails for around
$1,500. If you simply want the glasses, it's $500.
For purchase information, go to the i-O Display
Systems site. Click for more.

Oh, and the glasses are a little funky looking, so
don't be surprised if people give you second looks.
As if I'd notice (or care) when I'm getting a Brad Pitt
fix at 30,000 feet.

I'd pick up a Televizer today if it wasn't so spendy.
How about you? Is a gadget this versatile worth the
price? Use the TalkBack Button below and tell me.
I'll post responses beneath this article.
