Is this the Helmet of the future?

So, I can catch up on Boardwalk Empire while I'm riding? (fullscreen) :ban:

Please, please, please, add an API, so we can customize things using, say, Arduino. Pretty please!

I read somewhere it will retail up near $1000

I'm curious to hear how it's normal helmet features like airflow and comfort compares to helmets that are pretty close to that price. Hopefully it isn't a Vega with iPad guts :thumbdown:

Told ya the Vega would suck. Seems cheap until you buy a head sock, buy tons of earplugs, and break all the exterior plastic parts. Still have mine though.

I also wrote as professional of an app as possible in an attempt to slide into a tester slot.

Interestingly enough, I'm having doubts as to the usefulness of the rear facing camera. I always ride at traffic +20 so I DON'T have anyone coming up from behind. Without the backup camera being a center-point of the helmet, I'm not sure how much I like the price tag anymore. I can mount a GPS/Phone that plays music into my plugphones for a lot cheaper than $1000. I'm certainly not going to be taking any calls, whether it does it or not. I hate my phone as it is and riding is about the only time I'm free of the bastage.
