Just to explain question 1 a little bit more, what I mean by a system that
they would call a wearable computer.  What I meant to say was that how
many people could someone walk up to and ask if they're wearing a wearable
computer, they would say yes and understand the meaning (eg: I personally
wouldn't consider a wrist watch that shows the time in 5 countries, though
some might.)  The average user of a PDA wouldn't consider themselves
having a "wearable computer", they consider it more of a PDA.  My personal
opinion of how many people are wearing systems that they would consider a
wearable computer is under 10,000 (that's including public and non-public
usage).

PS - I finally got most of the parts for a system for my research, just
need to get some power supplies for the display and video converter.
