if-you-know-too-much-I ll-have-to-kill-you type standard Bluetooth 2.0.

You probably haven t heard of a company called Kopin Corporation. This
could be because they spend most of their time crafting micro-displays
for the likes of the military and other highly-secretive,
if-you-know-too-much-I ll-have-to-kill-you type organizations. Either
that or you really need to get out from under your rock more often.
Anyway, Kopin have announced today that they plan to unveil their new
Golden-i Wearable Computer at Microsoft s booth # 400 at the Embedded
Systems Conference in Boston on September 22 23, 2009. Wearable
computers a thing of science fiction you say? I beg of you to read on.
Geeky headgear aside, the Golden-i is a pretty stacked piece of
technological cranium fashion. The crux of the unit is a combination
three-ounce Bluetooth headset and 15-in virtual PC display. It also
features a hands-free natural speech recognition interface capable of
controlling just about every feature of your mobile device while it s
tucked away safely in your pocket. Kopin is promising that the Golden-i
will serve us with hands-free spontaneous access to digital information,
broadcast programming and Internet services all using the industry
standard Bluetooth 2.0.
Interested to learn more about the behind-the-scenes action of the
Golden-i? Thought so. The Golden-i is powered by Microsoft s Windowsยฎ
Embedded CE 6.0 R2 operating system along with a Texas Instruments
OMAP3530 processor featuring an ARM Cortex-A8, high performance DSP and
a graphics accelerator. Now that was a screenful. As for the
communications portion of our tour, the Golden-i sports Nuance
Communications VoCon3200 speech recognition and Vocalizer text-to-speech
software platforms. Still need more? How about Micron Semiconductor s
ultra-fast, low-power, multi-bit node DDR2 RAM / NAND FLASH
Package-on-Package (POP) OMAP mobile memories and MicroSD cards. I
thought that d do it for you.

You might be thinking that you need to carry an unlicensed proton
accelerator pack on your back to power the thing, right? Well, according
to Kopin, current testing suggests Golden-i's OMAP dual processor
platform can achieve over eight hours of typical use with a single 1200
mA/hr Li-ion battery. Boo-yah.
While the Golden-i may not quite be ready for prime time, Kopin plans to
begin shipping Gen 3 Golden-i Eval SDK units for customer field trials
in December 2009. Once they ve worked out all the kinks, you might be
able to purchase one of the production units sometime in 2010. There was
such an overwhelming amount of info provided in the full press release
that I didn t want you to miss anything. You can click here for the rest
