Good to see there is no bias in your suggestions Carol. :-) Amit, there are lots of processors which can be run in a wearable system without getting uncomfortably hot (although, pragmatically, most people just stow their cpu in a pouch or backpack insulated from them by a few layers of fabric). Most commercial wearable computers rely on using metal plates to conduct heat and distribute it over a large area (usually with fins to let regular air currents cool things). Take a close look at the the Xybernaut MA V: http://www.xybernaut.com/newxybernaut/Solutions/product/mav_product.htm The usual cooling mechanisms like fans, peltier junctions, and liquid nitrogen, are just impractical for a wearable computer. Maybe other people have found better solutions. Cheers. -Paul R.
