I have another theory which I believe means it'll be a success. And that's timing.
The time period between the original iPhone release and Google Glasses was about 3/4 years, if you take into account when iPhones became mainstream. The desire, motivation and perhaps subconscious 'head space' for something new, different and innovative was lacking at the time.
The time round, the gap has been sizeable since a major (physical) tech innovation. My bet is sales will be pretty huge from day 1!
Great write up. My conviction on the headset’s future is not as strong as yours although I think it will be a great tool for specific individuals. I will wait to be proven wrong that it is for the masses.
Great summary, thanks!

I like that idea, never even thought about it. Makes sense to me. I do think people are massively underestimating it.
