Does it have a rearview mirror that always points down the road behind you, regardless of how you turn your head?

Ian!

You're going to have a hard time deciding between those and these: http://www.google.com/glass/start/

In my opinion, the Jets look cooler in a Borgian cyborg sort of way, while the Google Glass may be more comprehensive.

Agreed.

Need.

Want.

Now.

Best,

Dan.

Ian, there's a review of the Recon Jet system here: http://www.bicycling.com/bikes-gear/new-bike-gear-previews/recon-instruments-launches-jet-heads-display?cm_mmc=Facebook-_-Bicycling-_-Content-Gear-_-recon

Andre...you get your wish. According to the article (pg 2)...
Quote
Linking a GoPro or Contour camera can provide streaming video to anyone following a Jet wearer; and you can even give yourself a rear view by mounting a rearward-facing camera and connecting it to your display.

Best,

Dan. (...who is thinking the Jet could be combined with Google Glass to make a wonderful gadget that would break one's nose with the weight of it all)

To use one unnecessary gadget, you have to buy another unnecessary gadget. I'll be coming around with a totally stripped bike, just the essential bicycle components, and you guys will be green with envy at my style.

Bless you too, my son, for you have sinned, by loading up your saddle bag beyond its natural mandate.
