| I disagree. I own Glass. 99.9% of people who see me wearing them want to know more about them. They want to try them on and experience glass. And of course, I let them give Glass a whirl. They love it. Yes it's WAY too pricey but, it's still awesome. I don't find them that unattractive. I look at it like, "I'm at a sporting/concert event and I obviously want to take pictures, so I'm wearing this, which is more convenient." Once I explain that to people, they totally get why I'm wearing Glass. Glass makes sense and it's a step in the right direction for wearable computing. At least for now. My gripes: It needs Bluetooth LE. I'm an iOS developer. I need Bluetooth LE to support notifications at least. iOS is hamstrung until I can send iMessages. I don't see that changing. Swiping through all the cards can be kind of a nuisance. Battery life. Google is a software company so, I imagine the more Apple opens up their notifications etc, the better Glass will get. |
Does Android even support BLE yet in a way that's accessible and standardized across hardware manufacturers? I was looking at doing some work with Bluetooth LE last year but was amazed at the lack of attention Google was putting into it. It seemed likely they were going to ignore it altogether for a while.
