Re: Sony Vaio U50 or U70 as a wearable computer core

Do you use the extended battery?  If so, what is a realistic runtime?  And 
how much weight does it add?  How do you generally manage the power 
situation?  (swapping batteries, external battery, etc?) 

Do you have Linux installed on it?  I found this page that describes how to 
do it:
http://nautilus6.org/doc/tc-vaio-linux-bsd-20041221-KuntzR-html/vaio.html 

Do you have a website with any information about your wearable so I can look 
at it?
