Personally I don't see mass adoption of Google Glass in any kind of conceivable future, I see head-up displays in very specific settings as the winning solution, instead of an always on, general-purpose solution.

Aren't the mobile photo sharing and messaging markets both large and established? Past technologies that have made those tasks slightly faster or easier have seen widespread adoption, and it seems possible the same thing could happen with Glass.
