Google Glass vs Apple .....
- Thread starter The 1
- Start date
I think google glass is a cool proof of concept product but I think there will be very few "glassholes" in reality.
As of today, which this thing has not been released yet, most bars, clubs and of course casinos have banned it!

Next, public transportations, perhaps?
Yes, it's a cool proof of concept but that's where it ends. After all, it comes from an irresponsible company which has no respect for people's privacy and must sell Ads to survive.
With that said, Google can never sell anything but Ads because most their fans / followers expect them to give them out for free!

The sales figures will likely support your view... that is if Google is bold enough to every release them.

Either do I (with the exception of the uber-geeks and the twitter fiends who get off on posting every time they take a breath).
I can see tons of applications though. Imagine being able to watch instructions while fixing your car or heads up GPS street view overlay?
We are going to figure out how to deal with privacy issues but I don't see it as that much of an issue considering most of society is already carrying around cameras connected to the internet.
I agree with the potential applications, but I really disliked wearing glasses when I had to. That's why I wore contacts and later had laser eye surgery. Wearing glasses for any reason sucks!
I'd like to try it. But I'm not sure if it'll be useful day to day vs being gimmicky. Only time will tell.
Any club, casino, entertainment venue banning other recording devices such as cameras, cell phone cams, etc are going to ban Google glass. It didn't doom cell phone sales so I can't see why this revelation should impact Google Glass.
Large cell phones were geeky but the functionality propelled the sales and technology made them less intrusive. Google Glass could end up on your contact lens in the future - who knows ? I've seen a huge portion of the population with their head down looking at their cell phones so actually seeing where you are going and getting the same information could be an improvement in safety. If pilots of jet fighters flying at Mach 2+ can utilize their HUD display for navigation & weapons - why can't I as I'm walking around.
I like the idea of looking at instructions while you work. There has to be some very good APPs coming for these things.
Hmmmm....I seem to recall a few people saying somthing like that about a new product that became the iPad
I'm looking forward to getting my set. I had a chance to try one on at dundas square a little over a week ago. very cool!
and now they are saying the consumer version is expected to be around the price of a smartphone $300-$600.
Nice video showing how well it does searches...
Yeah, Pekkkr bitch-slapped himself on that one....Hmmmm....I seem to recall a few people saying somthing like that about a new product that became the iPad

and of course the video was filmed using Glass
Google does not have an impressive record of selling hardware, it's a far more intrusive product, I think the "glasshole" market will be very small for a very long time. I could be wrong, I do agree on the price point, read somewhere that the parts cost $150 so they could literally give it away if they wanted, perhaps they could get a grant from the NSA to stream location video in the background.... the play for Google is selling location based services/ads.

Nothing new there FFS!!!....
After all you deluded APPL would hit $1,000!
And Dubya delivered real economic performance!
