I'm very much looking forward to the day when I can get a good set of
HUD glasses with a nice big resolution, with a iPaq, a 7-key chording
keyboard, my multiface and a few toys. For under $10k.

How is Steve Mann.... Seen his image processing software where he
replaces adverts with his own stuff, and paints things (buildings/bridges) at
night with flash guns then views that as his everyday view. Crazy. Been
living as a cyborg since he was like 16yo. His mum hated it cause he had a
button that saved the last 5mins of his life to HD, so she could never win
an arguement. Has his own pirate wireless network across the city from
what I read, one of his first antenna was made to look like a water pipe
and installed on the roof of a bank.

I'm scared of the disgruntled Jesus-looking trenchcoat mafia dude on the right.

Try Bhajis Loops and Microbe for the Palm. I just bought a Palm TX specifically after seeing this software:

http://www.chocopoolp.com/bj_index.php

Very, very cool software, much more fully featured than you'd expect for Palm music software. Much more portable than Live and a laptop too, neer thought I'd say that! Oh yeah, and like 10-11 hours of battery life as well. Exports midi and wav files for use in Live later on if you want. $330 for a TX, 2GB SD card, and Bhajis Loops, and you're on your way.

DAMN ...thats hard to ignore.
the dollar is cheap-as chips right now, and I reckon a palm pilot could slip through the customs net, specially if you find the right person on ebay...
some guys wont send you your products without declaring it, cos the whole sending process is 'hardwired' to their taxes etc ....however I bought an mp3 player (new) off a guy who didnt give a shit, sent it in a plain box and I didnt get stung for custom fees.

How did this thread go from my super-cool "feature request" to a nexus for nerds who think they're cyborgs?

That is really cool! Whats the advantage of going with the TX over the cheaper Zire for this program ?
