Seems like this would definitely have a place in a lot of people's lives: it makes photography natural, easy, and simple. It solves the problem of spending time processing and pruning photos, in an age when most people take photos by pressing the shutter button 20 times and praying. However, I think the target audience for this thing would pass at $250, especially when the single most important selling point on smartphones is the camera. This is part of the manifestation of Google's big bet on hardware; the same way they used to put out tons of shitty software just to see what stuck, now they will do the same with hardware. Luckily, hardware breaks, so it will be less painful when your camera dies and is discontinued than when Google pulls the plug on their dead services with little ceremony or redress.
