I agree with you. But there are different levels of integration. I can't imagine glass will be much different than Andoid when it comes to Facebook. Setup your Google+ account to sign in to Google Play, and then you can install the FB app, if you want to. In fact, when I imagine the Google Glass software, I imagine a modified/extended version of Android. That way it fits together with everything else - phones, tablets, google play, google+, etc.

  Screw that. They should make it exclusive for as long as day can get away with it. iPhone was exclusive for a year and developers where screaming at the door to let them in.

  > In fact, when I imagine the Google Glass software, I imagine a modified/extended version of Android. My first guess was that it pairs with your Android phone. Does anyone have access to one that can comment on what it is doing? Can someone throw me one so I can start reverse engineering things? please?

They can sell millions of devices before they even need to consider the wishes of mere mortals. There is so much hype going on.

  IMO, at over 1k per device they would be lucky to break 1/2 million units without significant improvements.

    And that'd be an impressive set of early adopters – which would be huge for a product that is designed to share experiences. If it really is as compelling as it looks, a half million users will quickly sell many, many more units. At least, that's my conjecture.

  I'd be shocked if they sell hundreds of thousands.

>>Consumers will want facebook integration. Offer them Google+ and make it as easy as possible to switch. Makes it seem like the future is in Google+ and that only grandmas use Facebook now a day. Facebook will fuck them as soon as it can.

Wonder how long it will take for Samsung to whip up a galaxy glass
