Glass is a product that could only have happend at Google: it's geeky, and they have money to toss on unproven devices. Apple would never release anything so experimental.
- btown 14y agoWhich is why they're not releasing such a product until the market has its way with Glass... every mistake Glass makes, every bug and failure, is something Apple can avoid doing when and if it finally releases their iEye ;)
- hcarvalhoalves 14y agoYou're assuming glass, as a product, makes sense in the first place, and that others will follow. Nobody knows yet, what Google has is a prototype, not a product. Remember the Segway? It was the future too.
- czhiddy 14y agoSo geeky, it may actually hinder adoption. The general disdain for bluetooth headsets was quite widespread - voice-operated Google Glass would face the same backlash.
- Groxx 14y agoYou mean like a phone? Into an extremely-entrenched marketplace which (in their primary market) has about a year left on their contract on average? As a relatively small player with a more-expensive-than-anyone-else product? The UI was certainly experimental, and that was a hell of a risky shot.
