How many hardware iterations has Glass gone through? If I were to pay $1,500 today, is that hardware the same as it was when invitations began?

They're on their second iteration right now, but I would point out that they've given free upgrades to all of their current explorers, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same thing going forward

I got a Nexus Q from someone who went to I/O a couple of years ago. They had announced a release date and everything at that point. Now, it is basically a brick.

The point being, don't do it if you expect to get your money back. Things change.

I just returned version 2. Too frustrating to work with as a developer. Thing was always dying on me, and navigating was buggy.

You really need a good reason to buy it. I'm waiting for mainstream acceptance. Definitely going to fail on launch if it's not more polished.

This felt like an alpha product, not even beta.
