Just looking at one PDA does eliminate the need for an HMD and 2nd PDA
as input/output but then it is just a PDA and no longer a wearable
computer.  I, like I think some of the other people on Wear-Hard,
dislike having to bend over a small PDA screen and using a stylus to
control it.  This is why I'm trying to find alternative methods to
control and view a PDA based system.

Has anyone tried PDA to PDA control as an input or navigation idea?
