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 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...
