Don't over complicate a simple problem. I master CDs for a living. There are a ton of CD duplication houses out there. It is not that expensive. I've done a thousand with cases, screenprinting and distribution for about $1,500 and a week turnaround. Do your clients a favor and do it right and fast.
By the time you finish planing and building you robotic arm the whole project could be done. If this is a "gig" as you say your getting paid to do a service. Do the job you were hired to do. Don't go on a tangent just to impress us here.
I find doing a good job well and fast much more impressive than flashy unnecessary extras.
People seem worried about randomly beaming their finances around. Besides encrypting it, wouldn't a simple on/off switch be a safe answer? On - beam away. Off- No beam. Even better you need to hold the button down in order to transmit.
True if you lose your watch or get mugged your screwed but that is not that different than if you lose your wallet. Besides this is hooked up to a credit card. If your credit card has credit protection than you won't have to pay the charges.
As far as hacking goes . . . every lock can be picked. From your desktop to your front door. I don't not have a front door for fear of it being picked. I just take the reasonable precautions necessary.
I'm not saying this is a good idea. I'm just saying it's not a bad one.
This is may be off topic since I am not a programmer but I would love a book on Real Media. We got a ton of books on Windows Media, Quicktime and various MPEGs but I have not seen one book on Real Media. Not that it is some big mystery but some times documentation is nice.
Of course I agree with the dead trees, smaller books with better info, spiral bindings ect.
There is so many ways to do that even in the free e-mail arena. Bob_Smith@thecompany.com is easy to remember, true. So is Bob_Smith@mail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, ect. True, many of the good names have been taken but there is always room around that if your creative.

I am a wife, I have been dumpster diving, and computer building of various sorts and I read Slashdot everyday.
We're out there you just got to turn the computer OFF once in awile to find us.
