The AXON™ is a tactical computer that brings the power of incident video to every law enforcement officer. Law enforcement officers constantly face false allegations and complaints that question their integrity and honor. With AXON, you now have the ability to show administrators and even jurors exactly what you saw, from your visual perspective. The AXON system is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing radio communications through a standard 3.5 mm headphone connection, providing two way communication in addition to full audio-video recording from a head camera the size and weight of a standard “bluetooth” headset.
If I’m going to be forced to pay for a Taser product I’m a lot less upset about paying for a camera which each officer would have to wear over an instrument of pain. Even if the evidence is uploaded to the database of the company which lives mainly on the continued existance of the war on drugs and police state.
The more likely scenario is that a police department would spend available funds on Taser products that harm people before these and these would be used as an excuse to spend more money.

The Neo 1973 boasts the following hardware specifications
- 2.8″ VGA TFT color display
- Touchscreen, usable with stylus or fingers
- 266MHz Samsung System on a Chip (SOC)
- USB 1.1, switchable between Client and Host (unpowered)
- Integrated AGPS
- 2.5G GSM – quad band, voice, CSD, GPRS
- Bluetooth 2.0
- Micro SD slot
- High Quality audio codec
The base unit costs $300 and advanced kit is $450. It looks like a good start but I’m more interested in a cell with an actual qwerty keyboard. Something like the Sidekick but with a touchscreen plus an open Linux platform would be a killer device.

I want one. It’s so cute. It’s just a Linux laptop but for $500 it sounds like a winner. Now I just need to know the ‘important’ things like: CPU speed/arch, amount of RAM, amount of storage and what kind (i’m guessing flash)
- Instant on/off
- 10in screen
- full sized keyboard
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
- Opera
- 2.5 pounds
- 5 hour battery life
- runs Linux
