It weighs 35lbs according to the article. That isn't terrible but carrying it all day would certainly get tiring.
I wonder how many muggings for the internal components will occur.
Packing what, exactly?
Heat.

everyone is gonna take a pic of it when they see him walking down the street
What the hell? Slap a GoPro and a GPS on a helmet and be done with it.
Yeah right. GoPros are about $150 a pop for their lesser models. Have you ever seen StreetView visual quality to be that of GoPro or even a $70 Cybershot quality? They're probably using recycled cell phones to take pictures. :-P

I find the size of this thing shocking. I can't imagine why it needs to be so big, you'd think they could do this with a lightweight nettop, a USB hub, and a few USB webcams mounted in a helmet...
