Man I can't wait for Google glass. I can see tons of opportunities (esp. for business), assuming hardware is mature.

I like very much the idea of Android-powered devices all around us!
Too many years spent only on printers, barcode devices, etc.. finally the "windowed" world is at his end and a new era began!

I see it more as an intermediary stepping stone to 'something else'. What the something else is I don't know.. but for me it will be less obtrusive. Don't get me wrong - I think that those who get to grips with and understand Google Glass will do well when the 2nd gen comes out..

I'm just not sure if "the masses" would want to wear them, and how others would accept them in public due to privacy concerns.

Having said that, I actually signed up to be considered for purchasing one and eventually was given a purchase code (good for a week) with which to buy them. I had told myself that I was going to buy them no matter what they the cost but after seeing the price I was shocked to say the least. I thought it over but in the end I decided that they simply were not worth what they were asking. I certainly hope they drastically cut the price if/when they become available to the general public. There is a difference between paying a premium for cutting edge technology and just plain being overpriced, imho. :rolleyes:

@Kevin, what's the price right now? 1,500? I'm not in the US and it's supposedly not open to non - US residents. As far as privacy goes, I think there's very little of that left anymore...

Yes, they were $1500 (USD). I hadn't really researched how much they were going for. Honestly I had it in my mind that I would be willing to pay up to $1000 for them and figured they'd probably be less than that, which was why I was so surprised.

I really wanted them (and still do). I went back and forth with myself for several days but in the end I just don't think they are worth $1500, especially considering that in all reality I would probably be too embarrassed to wear them outside of my house. :D

My purchase code is expired by now but I suppose if I ever change my mind I could try requesting one again.
