    As a few of you might know, I injured my hand recently (working my fingers to the bone..)

    xray:

    http://liqbase.net/finger_macro.jpg real pic, no thumbnail (literally lol) and lots of stitches.
    you have to want to see it, its quite nasty and I look like ET.

    I have been considering asking the good doctors to upgrade me.

    we have already considered getting a retractable stylus fitted. but I wonder if there are any other devices or attachments a maemo person should have.

    Apparantly the finger itself is like a tardis, its currently upto about double its normal size, so we can choose even seemingly impractical items to go in there.

    I would think a retractable stylus, a USB storage device, and a display panel made into a bionic fingernail should work quite nicely.

    Well done for keeping your spirits up after your injury!

    Regards,
    Roger

    I was reading a while back about some people that are getting natural magnets implanted so they can detect magnetic fields with their fingertips. That could be quite fun.

    Don't do a flash drive upgrade. Thats already been done.

    eiffel,
    cool - a fingernail display ui would be novel
    it would make an excellent watch.

    as for keeping my spirits up - strong finnish medicine

    that magnet idea is intruiging
    I should sprinkle some neodymium powder in there.

    yeah i know the usb drive guy, missed a trick though :P

    I'm considering getting a camera/sensor so i can read barcodes with a quick swipe!

    Wow. I believe that Jerry Jalava is a former Nemein developer and the author of the now defunct maemo.org community calendar...
