The frame of mind I have with Glass is to think of problems where the "taking phone out of pocket" motion is inhibitive enough to be a barrier for a successful app.
For example, QR codes today are something that pretty much nobody scans but will be relevant overnight if people start wearing these. Or, any app that is useful for you while you are driving, like parking assistance or finding nearby gas stations.
Also there could be some interesting applications that arise when you consider that if you are wearing Glass software can know when you are looking at a particular display, like your phone or computer.

I find the idea of watch phones awesome, but all of them right now (like on aliexpress or Sony's smartwatch) are pretty tacky/nerdy. But with the right execution and design a watch phone could be an awesome way to avoid taking the phone out of your pocket for checking messages or snapping a pic real fast. A phone client rather than a full phone seems like the right way to go. Plus it's way less intrusive than a pair of glasses (not as fun as augmented reality though). Edit: something like these would be amazing: http://www.archiarcha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Samsung-Proxima-Concept.jpg http://www.archiarcha.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Samsung... http://sumanl.com.np/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Electronic-wrist-watch-with-mobile-phone3.jpg http://sumanl.com.np/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Electronic-w...
- gfodor 14y agoYeah I think there is a good chance we'll see the iWatch by 2015. FaceTime + iWatch = any kid who grew up with Dick Tracy's geek fantasy come true.
