Even neater/cheaper technology

It looks like these guys are actually well behind the cutting edge. There are several already-announced and soon-to-be announced devices that surpass this quality for significantly less money. Perhaps this is their first pass at a lower cost, larger market production device, but this isn't much to write home about.

Arkinstad and BiVideo are two competitors that come to mind ... both which at least claim higher specifications at a similar or slightly lower price point. Check out www.afb.org.uk/public/5steps.html. It's quite interesting how these companies got started - one from the medical retina scan buisness, the other from the CCD industry. Neat.

Nomad is the wrong name for this

I know if I see someone walking around in public with a laser on thier head, pointing into their eye, I don't think Nomad, I think No Date.
