[Wear-Hard] Potential new HMD?

[Bryan Hurley]

That display is just a MicroOptical one. I just went looking to find the
model that is 320x240 and does serial bluetooth text only display, which
would make sense for something like this..... to be given the news that they
have changed their name to MyVu and only have on their site now the dual
display iPod video device.

So it isn't that big of a deal, just if you can still buy them....
