Have you seen the IBM commercial with the guy sitting amongst a flock of pigeons in what looks like Venice, Italy? He's wearing a computer on his head.?The precursor of the device pictured in this commercial may have come from Xybernaut, the Fairfax, Virginia-based industry leader in wearable computing.?Xybernaut president Ed Newman says that eventually wearable computing is "gonna be your number one utensil to link all the knowledge you'll ever need to do whatever you want." Industry analysts believe the commercial market for wearable computing will reach $630 million by 2003.?The new Mobile Assistant IV from Xybernaut is available with Windows 95/98, NT 4.0, Linux Red Hat 6.1 and SUSE, and retails between $4995 and $6971 depending on configuration.?Check it out for yourself at Xybernaut's website.
