Hurga, hurga. I think Nokia might be liking the whole wearable PC idea. This so utterly cool. I can't tell you how long I've waited for this.

http://www.elektex.com/
I emailed these guys and asked them to update their software for Nseries devices because I bought a cloth keyboard from them and it has a lot of bugs when trying to use it with the N95 8GB.
I asked them also why they don't start making accessories for Nokia?
They replied (a different company responded to me the company that bought them) that elektex went out of business and there are companies right now in negotiations with them to license the technology.

The other thing that they can do is take the tablo concept

http://www.slashgear.com/hantech-sis...nally-2644675/

and stick the "clip on" part onto some http://lumusvision.com/ glasses
and the pc can be some velcroable object you can put right underneath your shirt or on top of near the chest using a magnetic clip on.

Well, thought I'd bump things again to give another update. Given the links you guys provided, I wrote a followup article to my wearable PC article. Given the responses it's gotten, far more than I ever expected (like 5x's more, with lots of positive feedback!), it's looking a lot like the whole wearable PC concept is really picking up momentum and should be a rather lucrative growth market for the near future for OEM's. I just hope some of them are paying attention.

The problem I have with the vuzix devices is that, like many geeks, I wear eyeglasses, and these devices are patently not usable over glasses.

These look so cool that I might consider contacts and buy one though...

HAHAHAHA. Well, I see the Vuzix and other devices as the "early adopter" stuff. IE, the stuff that we will use to get the ball rolling, and then from there things will expand out to accommodate more people. But you gotta walk first before you can run, and we're not even walking yet. We're kinda doing the baby crawl right now. But in the next year or so I figure, assuming that this stuff keeps rolling at the pace it is now, we should be into walking. After that it's just a short jaunt to running.
