Forward to 1:05 when Sergey is holding it in his hand, you can see it whole. It's pretty small.

I'll be so pissed off if these Google Glasses can't interact with the iPhone just because Apple and Google are pissed off at each other... Those look great. Even just as a dumb display for my iPhone with some simple touchpad gestures on the side, I'd buy one.

  I don't think the iOS APIs are flexible enough to allow Glass the full access that it requires. Might be wrong though, I'm no iOS developer. Really though, if Apple brought these out would you expect them to work with Android? :-)

    Oh, I'm pretty sure they won't work together without some real collaboration between Apple and Google. Well, they have a year or two to sort their relationship out, I guess.

      What happens depends on what interests Google more: driving the spread of Android through less-than-fully-aligned carriers, or gathering the data that everyone using these with iOS could provide. I'm guessing the latter. Apple may respond not by blocking a fantastic bit of kit (which would infuriate customers) but by buying a company that has its own patents on similar technology and building on the play they made in buying C3 from Saab. I'm hoping the latter. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fraunhover-Wants-to-Beat-Google-s-Project-Glass-to-the-Punch-269290.shtml http://news.softpedia.com/news/Fraunhover-Wants-to-Beat-Goog... Apple is a hardware company focused on seamless user experience, and highly skilled in nurturing a commercial developer base. They can think mapps.

    Apple could partner with companies like Oakley,similar to how they are partnering with auto manufacturers for Siri integration. http://www.pcworld.com/article/253987/move_over_google_oakleys_got_smart_glasses_too.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/253987/move_over_google_oakle...

  I hope the iOS jailbreak scene can do something with them.
