This is something I think commercial manufactureres might want to note. 
  Many of us interested in wearables would be happy to settle for a 5+ 
pound laptop sixe CPU in a backpack or choulder bag as long as it was 
cheap, had a decent display, battery life, and expandability.

Before it died, I spent a few days wearing my MA IV as much as it's 
battery life would allow.  The HMD was bulky and battery life short, but 
the weight of the unit didn't bother me in the least.

Hope you don't mind... I added the RSS feed of this to my LiveJournal 
friends list...You have some good articles in there.

In a related question... Anyone know where one might find a used & 
working or otherwise discounted Poma for sale?  They're not even showing 
up on eBay...
