--part1_1f0.3c8ab5d.2b9afef6_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Apparently Cell Computing is now known as PFU Systems, A Fujitsu Company and they still have the PlugnRun modules that I remember them for, the top clock speed on these is now 700mhz according to the site, which is still the same address cellcomputing.com I was thinking about having a go at one for my first try at a fully untethered wearable meaning no AC adapters to hide behind, but the power consumption, and the fear of the unknown have kind of scared me away from that idea. I think instead I may tinker with a Fujitsu P2000 (or what ever P2*** Fujitsu wants to call it now) or P1000 (smaller, no CD bay) or any snazzy new VAIO that comes out smaller than a diary.... If anyone has attempted going HMD on a subnotebook like the above mentioned, and you have any advice please share it, all comments and suggestions welcomed. Short of an Ipaq and the right HMD and input device, a butchered subnotebook is all I can think of that would make an already reasonable battery-life with good performance a good choice for an easy conversion into a wearable. Although, no one really needs to run at 667mhz to 900-something mhz while your HMD is used to view a map or your taking notes of something, so a good power scheme is probably got to count for something. Probably the one thing that kills alot of ambission when it comes to wearing the wearable is the weight of the batteries, so maybe a PDA is ideal, they usually have longer battery lives. ___________________________________________________ Its late, forgive anything that didn't make sense up there --part1_1f0.3c8ab5d.2b9afef6_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <HTML><FONT FACE=3Darial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=3D2>Apparently Cell Computing= is now known as PFU Systems, A Fujitsu Company <BR> <BR>and they still have the PlugnRun modules that I remember them for, the t= op clock speed on these is now 700mhz according to the site, which is still=20= the same address <BR> <BR>cellcomputing.com <BR> <BR>I was thinking about having a go at one for my first try at a fully unte= thered wearable meaning no AC adapters to hide behind, but the power consump= tion, and the fear of the unknown have kind of scared me away from that idea= .
