Google Glass: Everything You Need to Know

We're just coming up on the one-year point since its unveiling, so it's a great time to summarize everything we know about Google Glass; here are the key facts.
It projects a smartphone-like experience into your field of vision.
The basic idea is that you can see texts, email, queue up your music, check the weather, and more,
all right in front of you.
You can also respond or call up things with voice-activated commands, and the augmented-reality interface can highlight things you see in real life and tell you more about them.
In addition, you can share live video of what you are seeing with someone else.

Google Glass itself is roughly a smartphone, in terms of hardware.
There's a camera and a button on top for taking photos, a touch pad on the side, a plethora of gyroscopes and accelerometers, a compass, multiple radios, a micro USB charger port, several microphones, and a tiny bone-conducting speaker.
A Google Glass project member said in a Google+ Hangout last year that underneath the surface, it's roughly a Wi-Fi-only Galaxy Nexus , lacking just the cellular radio, and with some fine tuning to the TI OMAP 4460 processor.
We still don't know if there's onboard storage, and we don't know how powerful the camera sensor is yet.
The OS doesn't look like Android; Google won't say what it is.

1. Hell no.

Doesn't seem like a good idea. I'll take the cash instead.

2. Another hell no.

When I'm out and about, I don't want to be bothered with that crap. 24/7 connectivity is vastly overrated.

3. No thank you.

[RebelOne]

4. I'll take one, but what's the price? n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. I think the article said...$1500.

but sure to go down in just a few years.
If the idea lasts that long.

With nano technology, these will be available as contact lens' before too long.

Just what every driver needs to have, eh?

6. I'll pass!

7. I'm waiting for the William Gibson Cyberspace Implant.

Available at all Nerds R Us stores this Xmass for only 999.99 $ or charge it on your Bose finance card.

8. I am STILL waiting

for a good Neuromancer video game. The one for the Commodore64 barely scratched the surface of what a game based on WG's books could be - and with today's tech it should be brilliant!
