But it is a small display. For a number of years I thought the eyeglass terminals would eventually replace monitors, such as those made by MyVu in Westwood, Ma (http://www.myvu.com/). We've seen their glasses at both GNHLUG and BLU meetings. One of the issues with cell phone viewers is there is no standard. Each phone manufacturer uses its own screen size. I do like the ability to view my phone in two different ways. When driving, I can grab my phone with 1 hand, press an icon that dials SmarTraveler for the route I plan to take. I have then icon placed on the home screen at a certain place. With something like the MyVu glasses I could drive and play a computer game at the same time as long as I had my shields up :-)
