Re:New OS needed (Score 1)

If Linux or any *nix variant (BSD, etc.) could be ported then of course it would be simpler. However it may be that only a brand new "from the ground-up" OS will really work. Linux still remains either graphical (i.e. point/click - KDE/GNOME) or command line; neither of which are suitable for a wearable system. Unless of course one enjoys talking to oneself all day. The bottomline is once the hardware is available new methods need to be examined. Recycling the old ones based on brand loyalty is the "shortsighted". Having tested a few designs I can conclusively say that neither voice-only nor mouse/hand controls will move this technology further. For something like this we must truly get "out of the box" ---quoth the Ranger
