With a few minor changes this would be an awesome wearable computer. Android touchscreen phones are just too impractical to me. (For those who would rage and say how great touchscreen phones are, go pick up a 15EUR candybar phone and text someone with T9, then text someone with a touchscreen-only android phone)
Ditch the Ethernet, add Wifi, GPS and a mic jack (and maybe a riser for a GSM/GPRS board?) and I would throw away my Android phone. A little eye-mounted analog HUD and an earpiece with attached mic would be all I need, and speech to text could do simple commands and transcription for me with maybe a micro-querty keyboard I could unclip and type on when necessary. Call me crazy but I think it would be cheaper than a phone and extremely practical for hands-off interaction. Plus, plug it into a monitor and keyboard and use it as a PC.
