It's a fraction of the cost, and much more compatible with the concept of wearable computing, where you're likely be using various components in various parts of the body interconnected with some interface. > beyond that you're digging only your own grave if you design in > lots of things you won't sell. > *** The idea is not to design in lots, but to design in extensibility. == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJS+8SDXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXRFQ0IyNkIyRTNDNzEyMTc2OUEzNEM4ODU0 ODA2QzM2M0ZDMTg5ODNEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9C/oQAI0GRm7FqCZ+UEUXBA3eaXFV AUJQaiUU20gi5+0pSpPCYLTMZ1voQJuwvPTJJ2phYevF2Cb4h7V9CTJ84oqxPOpf YRSsU4WlhvyQtjW/s6qWoskqGQsa9v5ld3Tuxb8wbWmsJjN0bbMJahrYbF8mu0L9 2jgjbzAZ3BSPV8b/6ym09+h08BeftbyF+eSTpFgwS8U6D5bi9ge4jOsfUB929RU/ U1X0teG/qtEzDrcPaZz0XjHKbMcqTvYZ1krKq0v6w0QsZ2W9fiFF5T4igRaGOkj0 9xlMJ/lYPLDAUTWduU45/k0L6OZposoGF/JFp9jAT9a9qKLQKUaVfuYIyfyg8BRK 5E6hSB3MZV6nDuiTTF80D8WFGkuTD0Q2LHkVB7V7t5guffGKy8zEtaBrvml3JL6k BzfzrkUFVbxQLWpyaQMXCBDqP8D/s6Jyxdi1i2FV8RTQCPuXISkWITpEb+HPStwY +iurNrB7JO9WK6fhFIgMQjXkhpuq4g65eRKXy8nwS5d8aUtTxB6BmRRD9iseaYp/ W+QNcPFsh8mlapDJHwrWT4VYlLo1pmkBhBO8p+INFFdXH0YDSsh4xekWNJBRIkLw 3mZfpqE5TqLFXPkf8etHbjhsaOgUT4VM3yOluOWGxJVv3IpETzRbvYn76Byvh6wU TltgsqDb7Vb6dM0ws59P =yewu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
