"innovating" is easier when you are willing to throw anything at the wall and home something sticks.
And when Wall Street doesn't seem to care about pesky things like margins and profits.

Your opinion is wrong.

Way too much radiation near my precious brain from the Google Glass you might think.
They might be too early.
Just like Microsoft was too early with Tablet computers to get schooled by Apple and the iPad.
What people would be willing to wear is the iPin, the iButton or an iCamera or iEye.
Something that sits in your pocket or clips onto your clothing somehow.
It could have a camera and GPS, WiFI and Bluetooth.
And when you want to see what it has to display, you look at
...
wait for it
....
your iWatch.
Apple never shows off what they are developing before they are actually going to release it.
Absolutely love the idea, but I don't wear glasses.
I give Google tons of points here for trying something new, and I would certainly love to try one in some capacity
BUT....1500 is just too much for a novelty product of limited function.
Okay, my opinions aside, I just don't get how this works! I mean, sure, for the majority, they're telling it, "Okay, Glass, record a video," but then these videos go and show people browsing through menus or sending an image to someone ALL without TELLING Glass anything! How are they navigating the operating system without touching anything? Or are we not seeing them pushing buttons along the side or something? Or has Google actually invented a device that can read your mind?
There are a lot of falsities about these videos. I'm certain the product won't be nearly as amazing in real life as these videos show it off to be.

Wow, I am a huge apple fan but I don't let that limit my vision.
Google glass is just missing some useful apps and suddenly it turns into a AR tool.
Look at this TED Sixth Sense video: http://www.wired.com/business/2009/02/ted-digital-six/
Google glass can perform this as is. Its just a matter of feeding images into googles existing search algorithm and providing a useful output.
Think of this. Go shopping. Pick something up and immediately see ratings, competitive prices, ingredients, etc. No more taking a phone out of the pocket to snap a pic, and feed it into the appropriate app.
See something on TV or in a magazine and immediately 'bookmark' it to review later or do additional searches for information.
Get in a car accident and immediately have replay footage.
And with future versions possible real time driving alerts for things you may not notice like Speed Cameras, Deer, Pedestrians.
Just my opinion mind you but this is one of the dumbest products ever.
Your opinion is wrong.
Well your opinion is stupid
It seems to me like google is just throwing everything they can think of against the wall and waiting to see what sticks. Let's look at this objectively:
- It performs basic mobile functions and nothing else
- You have to talk to it to make it work, which will be very annoying in public
- You have to wear a very unflattering pair of glasses
- It is outrageously expensive
What, exactly, is the appeal of this device? Who is it for? Skydivers who don't want to buy one of those go cameras?
