Can anyone spot where the TI Omap 4 processor is in this?

Yep, it's right here: http://www.catwig.com/google-glass-teardown/teardown/mainboa...

Of the three largest chips, it's the furthest to the right (in case the large Texas shape didn't tip you off ;) ).

That's a TWL6030 power management chip, used for charging and powering the board from the battery. There are no side photos, but sometimes there is a trick you can do with the OMAP: put it under the RAM. It can provide pins for the RAM to be soldered on.
Yeah it should be under the Elpida memory module. We did not desolder that for this teardown.
