I like another item at the end of the article, that Apple is working on wrist computers. (Do those even exist in SR4? - I guess you'd just call it a commlink and move on)

Release date: purchase immediately.

Google to the Rescue O.o
Hopefully, they will have good enough resolution to use them for some multimedia stuff too . .

I am both horrified and fascinated by this.

Yeah, but the commlink & contact lenses that do the same in SR4 (and also are less obvious) would cost only a few hundred nuyen compared to the several hundred dollars this android/goggle combo appears to be.

Smart phones these days are almost commlinks in SR4 anyway. All they're missing is the CPU power to play World Of Warcraft in true 3D HD, or the ability to think you're really getting fellatio.

If I had a smart phone that had the ability to make me think I'm really getting fellatio, I don't think I'd ever leave my house.

Samsung Galaxy Note < = accept no substitute!

And once again there is proof that the only part of SR dumpshockers really want, is the simsense.

Not true - I want the magic. If you're a muggle, you just don't count, you're a non-person.

You don't want magic back, you want yourself to have magic back. Big difference

Well, of course, silly!

Not true. Just going where the real money is

So, this is the, what, 15th year in a row we're getting really usable AR hardware by the end of the year? Might have missed a few ones in the '90s though...

I want BTL tech.
