*A [[PDA]] for [[standup use]] that nonetheless involves both eyes, both hands, the user to be standing still or walking in a safe place where the [[visual distraction]] is not dangerous to him or her. This would work best for [[major purchase]]s and [[intershop comparison]] where there is time available to just consider the purchase, look up [[quality ratings]] of which the [[Consumerium buying signal]] is just one. | *A [[PDA]] for [[standup use]] that nonetheless involves both eyes, both hands, the user to be standing still or walking in a safe place where the [[visual distraction]] is not dangerous to him or her.

*Any of several other [[worn device]]s with a [[headset]] - ideal for [[intrashop comparison]]s which typically must be conducted many at a time, and involve actually handling the products or moving the [[consumer terminal]] device past them (to [[scan barcode]]). Even the simplest device, the [[walkman]], can help by bringing [[green light]] products to customer attention, say by [[in-store radio]]. This is probably the best goal for an initial product design. | *Any of several other [[worn device]]s with a [[headset]] - ideal for [[intrashop comparison]]s which typically must be conducted many at a time, and involve actually handling the products or moving the [[consumer terminal]] device past them (to [[scan barcode]]).

Full [[Consumerium Service access]] will probably require an [[HTTP interface]] typically viewed through a [[web browser]], especially for [[purchasing agent]] [[sitdown use]] - perhaps optimized for [[institutional buying criteria]] and those users who rather completely trust a [[faction]]. The actual device in this case is a [[desktop computer]] or [[laptop computer]]. This might be delivered also on a [[retail kiosk]], say in a mall setting. | |||
See [[Hardware Requirements]] for exaggerated and fantastic speculations about devices that aren't really required, and may be [[e-waste]] as early as next year, but which our beloved [[Lowest Troll]] may be [[funded troll|paid to promote]]. ;-) | See [[Hardware Requirements]] for exaggerated and fantastic speculations about devices that aren't really required, and may be [[e-waste]] as early as next year, but which our beloved [[Lowest Troll]] may be [[funded troll|paid to promote]]. ;-) | ||
