Stylish and Sleek?
"able to project an image equivalent to a 52-inch television viewed from 6.5 ft away"
Why didn't these personal video displays catch on when Sony and Olympus tried to market them a few years ago? They weren't cheap, but they weren't outrageous compared to many new gadgets before and since then... reviews from the time weren't stellar, but I've seen worse for far more popular products. With some sort of proven market, there would have been successive generations with improvements addressing key complaints (fair picture quality, short USB cable, "not immersive enough" -- black areas to the sides of the viewable area meant the experience was more like sitting close to a big screen TV than sitting in an IMAX theatre).
Only one manufacturer seems to be making and selling these devices -- the iVisor. Don't know if they are worth the $999 price tag or not...
