I agree the twiddler is a nice input device, and certainly the easiest to get started with if you aren't interested in trying to hack your own. But personally, I think the twiddler runs against the idea of a wearable computer since you have to hold it like a telephone, or a remote control. I think very few people would consider a cell phone a "wearable" device. It's a handheld device. To me wearable means just that; you wear it in whole, not just in part. That's why I'm attracted to this glove idea, the tongue idea (difficult as it would be), and the electromyographic approach. I guess it all comes down to personal preference. I like chocolate. You like strawberries. -Paul
