Anything over five dollars will be overpriced, honestly. Given what we heard about the iWatch, I'd say Apple is getting it right. If you're going to look like an idiot wearing a computer, at least make it do something different than a phone that you already have (and, in Google Glass' case, is required to use it).



Yeah, basically you have to wait until Apple comes out with iWatch to know what Google Glass will look like; pretty much the same pattern as Android.



lolno.

I'm pretty sure Google Glass and the iwatch cannot be compared because one goes on the head and ones a watch!

I think Glass has a lot of potential. I applaud Google for exploring the area. Right now it doesn't interest me much, but I imagine in a few years they will have a streamlined version with much more function.

I think wearable tech is indeed the future, but right now most of it is bulky and doesn't do much. Kinda like uh......hhmmm....... how computers used to be! And how cell phones used to be! So if history has taught us anything in the tech area, we can expect things like Glass to improve infinitely in a relatively short period of time.

Not something I'm interested in, I think it would bother me having something over my eye like that all the time. Would much rather have a watch, but even that is kinda meh.

But hey, I'm always open to try new things if they get the price and features right to interest me.

I think it is good first step…..but it is revisions away from me buying one. I don't wear a watch so not interested in a smart watch.

Had a friend who purchased one through the invite program.

After 15 minutes of using it, an overwhelming meh.

I'm not sure about that right now, other than the miniaturization of the projector onto the glass surface, none of this tech (in concept) is all that new. People have been strapping screens to their heads for 30 years now.

I'm more interested in Samsungs offering, transparent displays, but thats for my own side projects I've been thinking about. ;)

I have 21/20 vision, what do I need glasses for? People already think i'm a geek because of my lust for gadgets. What do you think they'll say if I've got those bifocals on?
