[Wear-Hard] A phone of interest

[Brian Kuriyama]

Ugh... No offense but how does "arm mounted" = "without making phone
use awkward"? I have the notion that when a user has to strap more
things to his/her body, that's when things start to become awkward.
Although, in my defense, my next wearable prototype will most likely
have a "covertly mounted keyboard" on an arm :P.
