program/upload or do they have a cradle for them now.

: 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?
