I just read some news from the REX devlopers that they are going to release linux synchronization software for the REX pcmcia personal organizer. I was thinking this might make a great (and inexpensive) wearable i/o device. It so small you could slap it on the back of your wrist and run a wire to your wearable and use it to display text, etc when its inconvenient to wear an HMD. In theory you could even have 2, 4 or as many as you have serial ports. The Rex's go for around $120 a piece and I believe the power requirements are pretty small. It must use some sort of watch battery or something. Has anyone thought of this?
