Maybe people who would develop on glass should attempt to build within these initial constraints first, then complain.

Both glass and FB home are first iteration products, by their Nth generations they will be likely be much different than they are now.

The difference being FB home is software (which FB is clearly trying to monetize on), and glass is hardware that google profits from its sale and cba about 3-party devs livelihoods.

I don't think people won't develop for glass, I just think that start ups and the like probably won't come out in full force because the lack of business incentives.

TBH, I feel like trying to build anything on glass now (that isn't a hobby for devs) is pretty much a phishing expedition for google to pick up in an acquisition at this point.

Great point. They will likely be looking to acquire small teams quickly and cheaply.

That being said, i downloaded the glass SDK…

Currently reading through the source and trying to rack my brain for what simple but useful thing i could so with the timeline, subscription, and location :P

I think the constraints are great and make sense, given the philosophy of Glass that it should stay out of the way, and just be there when you want it. Everything about it should enhance your life, not get in the way. Simplicity is the key here. This isn't a desktop computer, or a smart phone. :)
