Dave, When i originally followed XYBR it was because they had a great idea that seemed to have tremendous mass appeal. However, XYBR's inability to come out with a cheaper consumer friendly model has definitely turned me off. The MA line may be made predominantly for businesses but in that case where are all the sales that were promised. Management is showing a lack of execution and in the computer business that is crucial. When the MA IV was introduced the max chip available to the public at the time was no more than 350MHZ (from what I recall). If XYBR does not improve the MA line at a faster pace then they will become obsolete. Pretty soon Palm Pilots and other ultra portable machines will be just as powerful as the MA line and most likely cheaper. I do believe however that wearable computers will someday become a common thing. But in my opinion XYBR will be a distant memory much like Commodore 64s. IMHO IcyGual

Shoe, why wouldn't the cellular/email/internet devices of tomorrow utilize a light OS like CE? The latest consumer item that I've seen which include Win CE is a Clarion car stereo system. Frankly, if the wearable runs any kind of loadable software I would think it would fall into the functional pc arena. After all what is the legal definition of a personal computer? I don't know, but would certainly be interested to know. Too tired to think anymore today - enjoy the holiday weekend!
