They appear to have lost the person working on this product and are searching for a new person to work on the driver, building the P5 from the faxview, etc. It's anyone's guess whether they will actually continue with the P5 or not. In any event, it will still be awhile before these become available. This is really depressing to see the interest in wearables, and have no really *good* display for people to use. I would suggest the M1 from Liquid Image, but it uses quite a bit of power and I think $1000 is a bit more than most people want to spend on a display. It's hard to believe that there was better hardware for wearables available a couple of years ago, then there is now. Hopefully, when the microoptical glasses come out this will be a possible alternative to the Private Eye, but I have no idea how this will be priced, I could easilly imagine this priced at $2000 and only a couple of people would be able to afford it. Correct me if I'm wrong but people want: *a low power monocular HUD display that is under $800 suitable for reading text Nothing exists like this in this price range other than wraparound VR glasses, which aren't really suitable for walking around with, or a video display from a camcorder, etc., but there is some concern that the NTSC signal doesn't render text very well. If this isn't the case, I'd like to hear what is out there that could do this. Or maybe this isn't what people want. -Paul -- R.
