3G services should satisfy the bandwidth requirements of these devices. Assuming that transmission fees are manageable, I think that a device something like the Inviso sunglasses might very well become very popular. (need to do something about the clunky design, though.)
Within five years or so, I think the new cutting edge in mobile technology will look something like this:
Visor-based display a la Inviso with an earbud-style speaker/microphone (picking up your speech via bone conduction), that communicates with your mobile phone through Bluetooth. Both devices also use Bluetooth to connect to a small form-factor hard drive that's in your bag. Ideally advanced voice recognition is part of the picture too, although I'm not sure how...maybe phone processors will be up to the task by then.
A setup like that might actually lure me away from my desktop monitor.

Nice solution, but the band-with requirements are still the bottleneck (the
amount of into is the same even if the size is reduce by the display). Have
seen similar devices by a number of brands (inc SONY). I seem to remember
that they all were expensive.

Here is a product that could make all of the net available to Jp mobile
users, not just what is hand fed by NTT. It could open the imode market to a
vast number of content and service providers that may not be officially
sanctioned by NTT.
Will a product like this compliment your current mobile model?
Or will it make it obsolete?
