Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. That's freaking badass.

Always wanted a forearm mounted computer, too bad it costs an arm (leg optional).

Phone dock is nice, though I'd probably go for a netbook. Keyboard and a small trackball hidden by the screen when it's closed, stuff the batteries in the upper arm.

Bull's Arm-mounted Cyberdeck seems less stupid now.

I've seen those too. 5" screen, Atom Z515 processor, 1 gig of RAM, built-in mobile modem (plug a SIM card in and you're good to go). Too bad the battery sucks.

Sounds like he might be on a slightly lower dose of whatever the Timecube guy takes.
