[Wear-Hard] Yet another Sony UX based Wearable

[John McKown]

I agree, Brian; it's important that wearable systems be able to 
disappear as quickly and gracefully as possible whenever social 
situations dictate.  Ideally they're stealthy.  Minimally they're 
stowable. 

Gloves aren't so good that way.  One normally timeshares one's hands 
second by second without thinking.  A glove would need a tremendous 
amount of putting on and taking off even if it was wireless.
