You know, seeing this video of google glass is a crowd... We thought iphone thefts were bad? Once people realize the value of google glass, whats to stop a criminal from snatching those off the user's face? An iphone at least has the protection of your pocket. Snatch and grabbing a pair of $1500 google glasses is going to become a major problem.
- TillE 13y agoIt'd be quite easy for Google to lock these down. For example, don't allow a new account to be used on the device until the previous account has been deactivated by the owner. If you don't have the owner's password, it's worthless. In short: make a proper anti-theft system and publicize it loudly. Word will get around, and there will be few thefts.
- Mithaldu 13y agoAs far as i know the glasses are just one part, and there's a fairly bulky computer you'll have to have in your pocket, connected via bluetooth or similar.
- evan_ 13y agoYou should double-check that.
- Karunamon 13y agoIt piggy-backs off of your phone's data connection or wifi - there's no cell radio on it. Unless you're around open hotspots all the time, having a smartphone phone is going to be required. I'd hardly call modern smartphones "bulky" though..
- Mithaldu 13y agoThanks for the clarification. :)
- Karunamon 13y agoI feel like I need to keep pointing this out because it keeps getting used in discussions, but the consumer edition of Glass is not going to be $1500.
- medde 13y agothe cost is so high probably because it is not ready to be released to the general public.
