Sebastien,

 	I am on the road and away from my notes at the moment but off the 
top of my head I would make sure that you check out the work of Genevieve 
Bell. She is an anthropologist working at Intel (last I heard) and has 
done some solid work on ethnographic differences on technology use / 
adoption.

 	So if you are considering cell phones to be wearables then her 
stuff is on point. If not then it is worth having on your radar. Off hand 
google is spitting out http://www.intel.com/research/people/bios/bell_g.htm 
as a page to find info on here.

 	I bounced my reply to the entire list so I could ask if anyone else 
know of work along these lines? It is something I have been trying to 
track down myself with little luck.

 	Aaron.
