Cool -- if I'm going to look like a Borg, at least I'll do it in
style! ;)  I just hope when they come out with Linux drivers that the
price will be right.

Looks pretty cool.  I'm looking more for an as-I-walk thing, but it's
neat technology nonetheless. :)

Well, one benefit of a USB-based sync cable idea (for the PDA+laptop
concept) is that USB can supply power.  I'm not sure how many PDAs (if
any) can be recharged from USB, but I do know my laptop has a lot more
juice available than any PDA.

Heh -- well, I surely won't be packaging and selling it, but whatever I
come up with will hopefully be pretty easy to duplicate. :)
