that is Technomad and the technotrike, I've met the bloke (on my wearable pursuits) and he is very nice, even if he is a little excentric... As for the Twiddler, I could go on for hours as to how bad it is, I've just put together a chapter in my thesis where I compare the Twiddler to normal keyboards and mice.. basically, it is not that hard to learn, but it is very slow and frustrating.. unfortunatly there are no real alternatives at the moment ;(..

Yes Mr newman, I wanted to chat to you about the wearables, I here you did some demos for Lonix of your wearables stuff, which means you are pencilled in for the next meet to do a wearables demo. Also While on the subject, Earl your doing a security demo. Out of interest for input devices what is there for a wearable? I quite like my split keyboard, could I some how still use a qwerty keyboard with a wearable?
Thanks
D
