This may be more of a tease since it looks like I bought the last one. (at least till they restock)
It appears that the headset from the Spycar is quite hackable and also sold seperately
It's an easily hackable bw composite video display that is worn over one eye.
I've been shooting for a way to create a portable propeller setup for under $50. I think I finally did it.
Propeller Protoboard $20.00
Palm Keyboard $00.37
bw video headset $25.00

Included were two candy suckers with some Toy ads. [noparse]:)[/noparse] Guessing they figure that
it might make up for the fact that someone had to order a replacement because it
broke on some kid. [noparse]:)[/noparse] <smirk>
Not sure if I'm actually going to be able to use it, as my cataract surgery has left
me with distance vision.. Figure that someone will want it if I can't use it.

You'll always have as many take-offs as landings, the trick is to be sure you can take-off again ;-)
BTW: I type as I'm thinking, so please don't take any offense at my writing style
I'm pleased with the purchase.. Now if they would re-stock... [noparse]:)[/noparse]

Sadly, it looks like I bought the last one... [noparse]:([/noparse] The link to the headset has
been completely removed from their website. Perhaps we will make
headway with that $20 portable DVD player mentioned in another thread.
Last check they still had 400+ units left. Plenty for all..
