Well the hardest part of getting a wearable to the mass market is to make
it as invisible as possible to others.  I.E. eliminate the cyborg look.
there are some really neat commercial wearables out there, but
unfortunately you would scare children, put seinors in cardiac arrest, and
limit your employment to burger king. Wearables are a great idea, dont get
me wrong, but mass marketing along the lines of PDA's..... the Weller
brush salesman will get more sales if he doesn't look like the terminator.

Wearables have a really long way to go before mass market applications, or
scoiety needs to wake up and smell the soldering iron and accept us
cyborgs as we are.... geeks with hardware!
