seems to be alot of fuss over the stylish aspect of this wearable comp stuff. It won't get stylish until people NEED, understand and can afford it. Just look how long it took these geniuses to figure out that "putty" wasn't an incredibly enthralling color for a system, but now with the internet being pounded into everones skull, everyone needs a computer of some sort. Now we have transparently opaque colored cnc machined laptops, printers cases and monitors aptly to be bought for your daughter because they might just look good next to that nsync poster in her room! As soon as it becomes a "neccassary" item of day to day life (trendy?) its goin nowhere outside of the poultry industry(mentioned by someone else around here) As far as giving these things to the police, don't they have enough power as it is, give it to fire rescue, emts, hell, give it to the military, fine, but not the police...wearables will arrive when people want them to arrive, once there is a sufficient demand for it, project time is nil, they'll have something crafty in 6 months if consumers want it. personally, i think they need a killer app for it, a uh...life program? something that covers the gamut of an average day. I wouldn't worry about wearables looking cool, when they do hit the market, with 2k and all, you'll be a geek without them! "i don't feel safe with all these cops around"
ya, ok, they only have a 128kb cache, but contrary to PIIs & PIIIs, the cache runs at the cpu speed, not the bus speed. On a P2,3 100mhz bus system you'll have the 512kb cache running at 100mhz, thats it. Celerons have that 128kb cache at the clock speed, in your case, 504mhz, i.e. that little 128kb is blasting the p2,3 cache by 5X!
