Linux-Based PMP Features Head-Up Display
nerdyH writes "A new Linux-based portable media player (PMP) features an eyeglass-like head-mounted display with 800 x 600 resolution. Dreamax's Indicube i-800 PMP provides an experience similar to sitting two meters away from a 54-inch screen, the vendor claims.

2008 will be the year of the Linux Borg Headgear.
Now I can look like a complete tool without using proprietary software.
If you haven't made a developer cry, you've wasted a day.
ugh.
We've always been at war with Eurasia.
... as a guy who has a fair bit of difficulty scoring with attractive women, I am really looking forward to the possibility of banging ugly chicks while watching hot porn.
Finally, technology that helps me in important ways.
Unless your toy expenditure is the *reason* you can't afford the surgery..
to rehash the old joke...
you get home, put on the ol' Indicube and immerse yourself totally in the audio and video of your favorite p*rnstar doing what she does. there you are, she's 2m away in glorious full OLED color and resolution as you are cranking away....

on a more serious note, add sound canceling headphones and I can see a use for this on a long haul flight.
Sitting in the train, minding your own business, with your cool eyeglasses on, and then somebody snitches your bag, coat, shoes and everything else you're not paying attention to :-D
Quack damn you!
The realm of 'wearable computing' seems particularly prone to vapourware. For example, check out this awesome device,
Give them time, they need to work out exactly how to emit the perfect 1997 lens flare
1) Your analysis is based on bad assumptions so your result is way off. 2) You're a sick bastard for fucking a horse.

I know you can't tell but, trust me, she looks like an idiot in these things too. She just has a way of distracting people from the glasses.
In a world where 1080p is fast becoming the norm, 800x600 gives you the experience of sitting 5-10 years back.
I'm a long haul trucker and I have to say these things are a life-saver. Instead of nodding off at the wheel like I used to, now I can watch a handful of movies as I drive between Chicago and LA.
wow thanks. now I have thst image in my head... if only I could go back in time, to scratch my eyes out before.... wait... time paradox.... hmmmm I'll have to discover the code...... heheheheh heh.
