Google is no longer selling Google Glass, but insists that the company is committed to the product, which will be retooled and eventually launched in a different form. That’s not very helpful to the people who already bought one, as they will no longer receive software updates. What happened? If you watch this video, you might think it’s telling you that forces from beyond the grave caused the failure of Google Glass, but I believe the point is hidden in the simple fact that these guys couldn’t manage to summon porn with it. -via b3ta
I've heard plenty of people name specific prices and apps that would make them want something like Google Glass, as they had specific functionality and utility in mind that would apply to their lives. I've heard others complain about wanting to use various NFC based payment schemes, but being unable to because implementation was slow on the vender end. I've heard visitors from other countries complaining about lack of ability to pay things with phones, because it is a lot more common in some other places. Even without getting into the fickleness of fashion and using things to show status, there are sizable number of people who want these things, which is more relevant to businesses than those that don't want to use new options. Although at least with smart watches, I have heard very little interest in them, and so far they aren't even providing that much of what those wanted anyway, playing more of a gamble with the fashion side of things it seems.
But Im sure the Cult of Apple will camp out for the stupid watch.
If not them, then certainly the next generation.
