I hear Apple's coming out with a similar device called the "iPatch."

...Sorry, I couldn't resist...

Craig, that's because iPads been taken :)

Imagine getting DVinfo as a heads up on your glasses, the mind boggles now but it is coming.

Cheers.

So, this is sort of a .... Private Eye?
Then can we expect specific model names like Philip Marlowe, Sam Spade, Sherlock Holmes?

(Sorry. I couldn't resist either.)
