I've had a pair for the last 6 months. Honestly at this price point ($1500), you must really be a geek to be willing to buy one. IMHO it's not ready for rollout. The limited voice UI and the battery life make it useless for actual consumer usage.

Any product where I have to figure out why I would want this is probably a product I don't need.

Nobody automatically knows why they need most products. That's why even Apple's advertising is built around demonstrating use cases for products like iPad and iPhone.

Marketing for Glass probably shouldn't try to sell Glass itself, they are trying to sell the use cases and lifestyle that it enables.

Sorry, I already have a Go Pro ($250). That is basically the end-user for Glass ($1500). But keep at it Google. Glass will make for a platform for interesting further UI and wearable experiments.

Did this article get flagged? It was one the first page, and just found it at #132 (in spite of 17 points in 26 minutes). This is front page news, no?

The algorithms HN use baffle me sometimes.

It appears that all colors are out of stock, currently.

Interesting. At the time of submission, they were all in stock. I wonder if this page was accidentally shipped?

Available to everyone under the condition you can click 'purchase' faster :)

Do you still have to awkwardly shout out commands?

"everyone"? What about poor people?

...and about anyone not "a US resident with a US shipping address"? :P
