It'd surprise me if this didn't come with an armband of some sort, either out of the box or as an option.

According to this article, it comes with a "neckstrap" of some sort. Dunno how I feel about strapping something to my neck, though...

On that same website there's another page about mp3 players being sewn into shirts or jackets. They also mention some interesting medical uses.
As for the 2-VU, it looks pretty interesting. And I think a touch screen is rather forward thinking. But I don't like the fact that there's no keyboard anywhere on it. Just because I can type faster than I can write. And my writing is really messy :)

You're kidding, right? The Phusion was out before Christmas. I recently saw them on clearance sale at a local megabox store for about $80.

If you can't find one, it's because you're looking in the wrong place. Try the toy department, not the PDA counter.

It seems to kind have flopped this christmas, so jump out and get one now if you want it.

I was told once, and I now think it a lie, that GSM worked by communicating to low orbit satellites and hence was global. I don't know if that's true, but I'd hope that either sprint pcs, or GSM would be widely available over the entirety of your course.

Don't ask about the camera, I wouldn't really suggest that sony picture book. But the cam for the clie is no longer an option it seems; and things like this never seem to be real. Although the visor eye module may be what you'd want in that case.

One of the most telling things about the thing's vapor status, is the improbable reverse curve display. Especially obvious on the zoomed view of the alleged device. God help us all when industrial designers get ahold of displays that can be bent and formed into convex and concave shapes.

Yep, the only type of person stupid enough to possibly fall for this is a Wall Street investor.

Dreadful ergonomics too. This is an example not of ergonomic design, but of the insidious and evil "ergonomic style" design. Not actually good or comfortable to use, it just has to losely resemble stuff that does. Blegh!
