This is starting to look at least as interesting as a piece of hardware as it is as a product. Pity I don't have a few thousand dollars lying around . . .
This review has gone a long way towards assuaging those concerns, but I wonder what they can do about anti-theft. Being pickpocketed on public transit is a very real concern in most cities with >500k people. Imagine how much easier it'd be to snatch a device you're not even holding and (hopefully) blends into your life so seamlessly you forget you have it on. It's been well-publicized that these things start at $1500.
I'm in the Explorer program, but practical issues like fashion/etiquette have had me reconsidering if I'd really be willing to spend money to put a computer on my face.

I think I read somewhere that there was some kind of touchpad on the side? But how do you enter text (like search queries) into the device? Or is this supposed to be operated from a connected smartphone?
Somehow related, I fear that this will take years until it reaches me here in Europe. Google Voice still only knows who's president of the united states if you ask it in english.
Avid sailor here, and I like to race, typical race is ~6 hours, but longer races too, 24-48 hours. We are continually evaluating, speed over ground, radios, depth, AIS for marine traffic, tide flow (current), GPS, charts, race course, etc. We have many devices that give us a picture of what is going on. I love the idea of Google Glass as a heads up display [1] for everyday people! Sure, we use a computer to compile m…

How long is the fashion thing a problem, though? Either other companies (Microsoft and Apple, mainly) will come out with their own glasses, and you'll have safety in numbers, or future iterations will make them look more and more like regular glasses. It's not like the segway, which could never have evolved to blend in.
Have we seen pictures of Glass sans human head before? I don't recall. I definitely agree that it looks like 2013 by way of the 1960's. This is starting to look at least as interesting as a piece of hardware as it is as a product. Pity I don't have a few thousand dollars lying around . . .
The thing I didn't get is how you operate glass? I understand you can use your voice, but surly there must be an alternative way: Google voice, as great as it is, is not really reliable enough to use it as its only driver. I also don't think Google will design a device that forces you to talk to it in public. I think I read somewhere that there was some kind of touchpad on the side? But how do you enter text (like se…

Smart phones are ubiquitous, but people still get them snatched on BART, and they're actually holding them.
