These ideas will work for many people. I no longer am comfortable carrying a three-pound device around, but then, I am a retired lady and what I would have been willing to do when I worked is a bit different from what I am capable or willing to carry and do now. It may make good sense to include such technology on a computer device you use for work and school and again, limit the number of devices to be carried. For me right now, compacting is what I need and light in weight as well. There will be options for all of us. I rather enjoy seeing what the possibilities are and how or whether they are implemented.

With a netbook coming in at 2.3 pounds, and at the size of an apex, why not? With windows 7 voice recognition capability, you might be able to talk to your gps as well, and for less than $300 in hardware to boot. Add a bluetooth Braille display, and you still are thousands of dollars under the cost of a money sucking proprietary machine.
