Here's the deal...

We are here talking about Google Glass, and what Google might make next. Regular people are thinking about how wearables could be more socially acceptable. Developers are thinking about how to write apps to make better use of a persistent screen in one's field of view. I have no doubt these were some of the top goals of Glass, so those are a few big wins.

Whether Google reached a goal with Glass that YOU think they were shooting for is irrelevant. Would they have liked everyone and their mother to rush out and buy a pair? Of course. But I'm pretty sure the people making decisions at Google are some realistic folks, and the project has so far succeeded at what they were expecting. They know they are pushing the envelope, but sometimes that's what it takes to truly innovate.

Again, not a fanboi, regardless of how you think I might've phrased or worded my OP or subsequent ones.

So why the snarky comment about iPhone and iPad, as if they are anywhere close to the same level of innovation as Glass? You also claimed to be open to being convinced, but have so far totally resisted any and all attempts.
