In 2020 We Can Wear Sony Computers On Our Wrist

Our present need for internet connectivity is so profound that secondary devices like the Nextep Computer are bound to happen. Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible OLED touchscreen. Earmarked for the year 2020, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility, make the concept plausible. Ten years from now is not too far away, so how many of you think we’d be buying such gadgets?

I'm curious why they would go with the physical keyboard since we already have the capability to project and USE a virtual holographic/laser keyboard. In fact there are some in production. I'm wondering if its a battery life issue... since they're already projecting a holographic screen.

But.. its a great find and I'm wondering how I missed it. I have an RSS feed on Sony's stuff... weird, wonder if I missed a blog or something
Or maybe it wasn't announced at all on any of the official Sony sites... oh well Thanks!
