Personally i think that the deaths from crossing the road will blow up
google say that the "screen wont distract you but eff that it will also this is one expensive death root
I thinks it is more dangerous to look at your smartphone while crossing streets or driving your car and so on. If the userinterface is realy like the one shown in Googles newest video (see below) I don't think it is distracting.

The same was said for car stereos and GPS units. They are all a distraction.
HUD(Heads Up Display) has been used successfully for years.
I can't wait to get a pair(?) hmm I guess I can't wait till I get one.
yeah, no thanks.
lol i feel like my eyes would do this after wearing these. and then i imagine the movie THEY LIVE . "put on the glasses!"
I honestly think it will be a bit distracting..
but not to the point where it is as distracting as looking at your phone and doing other things.
but it does kinda add another level of multitasking to your everyday lives. lol
anything can distract you: a noise, a bird, even a pretty woman. it depends on you and you lack of attention. i dont believe it can be that dangerous. maybe i change my mind when i get one

It seems to me that everyone gets worked up when new technology comes out. People say its going to hurt our economy, kill people, make people fat. that has not stopped most people from getting products from this. yea I'm sure 4 or 5 people are going to get hit by a car with this product on, and I'm sure google is going to come out with a safety feature that stops notifications when crossing a road or something. The thing is i know you want one you just want to rag on it a little to see what people have to say about it before you go off and spend a but load of money on it and this information will give you ideas on the essay you need to actually buy one.
It won't be distracting. We always adapt to different technologies...if this was seriously a problem, I don't think AH-64 Apache pilots would have the best track record now would they.

yes. i tought so man.
its cool. but if only can take pic, take video, search , etc. ( like what they reveal now )
i think $1500 abit pricy for this thing
I love the idea of these, but i don't think i'd wear them all the time. They'd be great when flying, especially if you could connect them to an ADSB system and other instruments on the aircraft. A cheap HUD for pilots, showing the horizon (from the proper gyro system), and showing colour coded icons where other aircraft are, etc. The same could be done when driving, i guess, and hiking etc.
I suppose walking through the city with these would be better than walking head-down nose buried in a smartphone, as everyone does now. But i don't know if i would use them in the city. Maybe if they looked like Spider Jerusalem's glasses i might...
Google Glass will revolutionize the world
This has been long overdue. I think they will be safer than cell phones. The voice recognition will take refining; but for the most part, this is an awesome step forward in technology.
You worry warts will see how nice it is when you actually get to use it.
The more I see people with their cell phones while walking, driving, and eating, the more I see the sense in glass and how I really feel like the idea in general will boom. Just like Google started the 7 inch standard, they are starting the glass tech trend

Hey everyone, I just wanted to post this because I think the majority of people are misinterpreting how Glass is going to be used.
Recently, there have been a lot of reviews of what we've seen from Glad so far, and it looks like it won't be app driven at all. Instead, there will be cards for each command we give it, and if companies want to add integration for glass, they have to create a card interaction that Google can recognize.
What this means is that, while there's a TON we could do with Glass, it's not going to be something we're watching all the time as we're walking down the street, or sitting on the couch. It's built as a reference tool, just like Google.
I imagine it more as Google Now, but without the phone. Simply, say "OK Glass" and ask your question or say your voice command.
I am only writing this because people keep taking about the risk associated with having a screen always feeding us data and becoming a distraction. To me, it looks like the screen is just there to give us a visual confirmation that it's dying what we tell it, and to give us am idea of how a picture came out or video angles, etc.

I have also read many misinterpretations of how glass will look. Some people still think it is a full vision heads up display From what i have seen from developers on youtube, the reflective projector that Glass uses cuts off after a predefined amount of seconds in order to conserve battery power...seeing as it only has the potential to last a single day (which is good) taking into consideration you aren't recording video and taking picture after picture. In order to bring the screen back up, one would simple swipe/touch the panel on the side of Glass. Hope this helps :/

If you want to use it as an always on HUD and/or recording device you'd have to get an external battery pack and keep it plugged in.

Exactly! I'm sure that using the map features or even filming a couple roller coaster rides would end up dropping you down to empty in a hurry. Either way, it is definitely not going to be a full blown phone replacement. It's just a quick reference resource kind of thing!

I think that misinterpretation of Glass is coming from multiple sides.
On one hand, there are people who think that it's going to be a HUD. (I wish. Maybe a future version will be, based on the most recently uncovered patent filings related to full-lens display.)
Other expect that it will be always on.
And the seemingly vast majority of the people covering Glass for the news and/or vocally lambasting it think that taking pictures and videos is the main/only feature. While it's nice that Glass might be able to fill the same need as the Looxcie, I think that this is a nice-to-have rather than the Glass' killer app.

Good point! I think the picture/video aspect is a great selling point, but the big grab should be the quick response features included in Google now. For example, asking Google now how old Jason Bateman is comes back with an almost instant reply saying his age (44), and his birthday (sometime in 1969).
I think that quick info questions like that, fast communications (texts or their equivalent), and longer term resources (reminders for something you need at the grocery store, maps, or a touristy "what's that" function for recognizing places or translating text on signs). There's a lot of cool features, but the only way they're gonna work with a battery that small is if it's very little activity through the device. I use the term quick reference because it's the most sensible way to make it work, to me.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yeah. The ability to receive notification, directions, and many other types of information without taking my phone out is, IMHO, the killer app.
I am a huge fan of Looxcie. I love the idea of a continuing recording buffer of video, and the ability to tap one button to save the last 30 seconds. There are so many little moments that I have witnessed over the years that I wish that I could have saved. I would be thrilled if Google included this functionality. (Though I assume we won't see it until battery tech gets even better, as at the moment I assume it would kill the battery. Witness the Looxcie, which has no display and only lasts about four hours.)
That's not the point of Glass, though. If it was, they wouldn't have included the prism display. They would probably have just released something like the Looxcie, and let it attach to your glasses.
So when I see people posting pics of the SpyGear kids toys with camera glasses, laughing that "Google got scooped!", it makes me sigh.
On the topic of battery life, I believe that there are some pretty ingenious fixes for battery life. What comes to mind first is WiFi charging. Whether or not all the components could fit inside the glasses is another issue, but it's still a possible solution.
Possibly the most hilarious misinterpretation of glass is being able to watch Netflix. That's a definite no.
Also I'm going to come out and say that I'm almost positive that Google Keep was created for Glass. If you think about it, it's an unusually simplified interface consisting of simple notes in a card interface. The interface is perfect for Glass.

There's no way WiFi charging is going to come around for at least a few iterations. Probably not for years.
As for passive charging, they could finally start putting a piezoelectric system in place (charging via motion).
The Google Keep comment I'd genius really... Imagine making a checklist for all the groceries you need, and then having them up as you're getting everything. You can check items off on your list by saying something (like "check item 3), or using the touch interface on the side.
In fact, what if it starts recognizing all of the isles (from your continuous use of similar grocery items on Google keep and it recognizing when you check things of and taking a picture or recording whatever it can to pick up your location in the store.) That would make it so it reminds you of the things you need when you enter that isle, or taking care of checking your list off as you pick the things up (making Google Goggles more elaborate in the process).

I use this most every night "Nexus 10 DIY Pogo Dock©". I may have written about it as humour but I really do use it. Its greatest advantage is a soft underside unlike the metal based alternatives and of course being dirt cheap.

I'm fat so the nexus rests over my belly during bed-movie time. I just hold it the minimum to make it not fall.
Leaning it against a pillow works pretty well if you have an extra.
Wow thanks for all the suggestions. Man I was really hesitant on posting this question at first cuz of the lazy factor
The pillow idea sounds good I will have to give that a try first.
The retractable arm looks epic... I will have to take that under some serious consideration... It looks entirely possible for me to mount that on the headboard. Heck it even looks like a conversation starter... "Hey baby wanna check out my bed/tablet mount?" :victory:
The DIY project looks interesting... I may just have to try that just for fun.
The gogopillow looks interesting... I am wondering if anyone has tried it yet... The only possible downside I can see is the tablet getting hot.
Any link for the belkin case or even the name of it?
Thanks again, and I hope this might have helped others who are just as lazy but was too lazy to ask.
90% of Nexus 10 cases function as a stand. If you don't like to cover your tablet a pillow works. They also make stand alone tablet stands, but I don't know how comfortable they would be on your lap. I bought the cheapest case I could find

Using it as a stand works perfectly.

Everything about this phone is pretty amazing but, my main concern is the durability. HTC can do pretty well in bend tests based on what I've seen. The problem with this phone is there is a lot of chassis missing for that glass back.
I know it's a bit soon to speculate but, it's no longer a small risk when it comes to the initial outlay and I may just sit this one out for once as my 6p and 5x are both doing quite well considering I went naked after about a month. The 5x is my work phone and I have dropped it all over the place, spilled tea on it, and it lives in my back pocket during transit.
I really hope Google did their homework on this one because all eyes are on them now.
yeah, the glass panel's exposure scares me a bit. HTC's had a history of absolutely bang-on build quality, so that leaves me feeling good, but glass is glass. honestly, i was really hoping for a soft curved back like HTC has been known for, which is a crazy help for keeping wear down on normal use (obviously doesn't help drops). I am reluctantly awaiting potential bumpers since clear skins never last or look worth a crap, or maybe just go full retard on a Live Case.

Ok, so I caved in and got an iPhone 7 a week ago on their upgrade program. That way I'm not spending so much in one hit. I've bought a smart battery case and I got nearly 12hrs usage yesterday with a lot of camera activity and gaming thanks to the double battery power. I can do most of what I was doing on my 6p and in a lot of cases more. There seems to be some minor perks for the iOS versions of the Google apps. For once I'm going to wait for my contact renewal in January and keep an eye on all the news with these phones. If they turn out to be the real deal then I can get more than what I would have got if I was buying it like I normally would a Nexus. So in 3 months the winner can be my daily driver and the runner up can be my work phone. I must admit iOS has certainly matured since I last had a serious look. If you actually take the time to configure it to your way of working it's actually the same. I still use all the same apps I was using, even my password keeper. All my friends and family have started to wonder if I'm having a midlife crisis because I was so anti Apple and I can only admit I was wrong. It's something you have to openly experience to understand.

GMonkey I've just asked if anyone here have used an iPhone recently and after that I read you post.
Do you recommend me to try the iPhone 7 now that the Google Phone has the same price?
My last phones: Galaxy S3 (I hate Touchwiz) -> Galaxy Nexus > Nexus 4 > Nexus 5 > xperia Z5 Compact (I regretted this decision. Bad camera) > Nexus 5X (excellent camera like the Nexus 5 and 6P)
I'd like to know how is the iPhone 7 compared to the 5,X (specially the camera without HDR+) and using only Google Apps and Google Sync (not iCloud, iTunes, etc. Just Google apps). Can you replace Siri with Google Now?
Considering this...do you recommend me that jump? Or I'll miss Android a lot?

It's a tricky one because there are pros and cons. The good thing is that you have 2 weeks to make your mind up and apple are pretty good at disputes from what I hear so you could always try it for a bit. It's another world compared to the 5x (which I'm still using as my work phone) because of battery, camera, and the fact it's water resistant. It depends on what you like about Android. If you like all the Nougat features with notifications etc and rely on quick charge then you may struggle. If you don't mind losing out on the openness of Android then you'll like iOS enough to switch. I use inbox, google play music, movies, books, keep, YouTube, google drive, sheets, docs, and slides in exactly the same way as before. Google has been clever in building its own ecosystem within iOS and I can still share things to drive and keep etc as I did before. You can still keep documents offline and keep them synced. Google photos still syncs and it also supports iOS only features like moments. Drive and it's related apps have a password feature which is nice to have. I still use a password manager. In apps it only works on some, others you need to copy and paste. It works fine in safari if you press the share button on a log in page. My photos are far better than my 5x and 6p. 3D Touch is amazing, anyone who says it isn't hasn't given it a good shot. It's given me the ability to hold down on an app icon for shortcuts or preview links or images etc. People complain that google puts more effort into iOS apps and it's just because it's easier to cater for a small number of devices. Other developers seem to be doing the same. The only limitations are what the OS won't allow which I prefer out of privacy. Remember with Google we are the product and the ad space buyers are the customer. There are 2 main ways to make money in the software space. 1. Is by selling a solid solution and 2. By offering a free solution that has other ways of making money. This is why Facebook is the largest media company in the world without ever uploading a single photo of their own. It's been built by our efforts and so has Google. With this in mind you know who will be the better option when things go wrong. I used to avoid Apple shops like it was someone else's church so I had no idea how they operated. They didn't have an issue with me being an android user and they spent so much time with me even after the sale was made. I've been back in since to ask questions as it's not for from my office and it's like I've got my own little XDA shop to walk into but, I won't get shot down if someone disagrees with me. When you realise that some of your favourite android blogs also have sister sites that are iOS based and all the fanboy anger is driven by them you realise it's ok to like both and I now visit both websites and follow both podcasts. Sorry to have gone on for a bit, I just wanted you to know it's not just about the product as the service behind it and the community that support it are equally as important.

Hey and what about replacing Safari with Chrome. Apple Keyboard with Google Keyboard and Apple Maps with Google Maps? Is this a good idea? I have years of custom words saved in Google Keyboard.
Can you also replace the main gallery with Photos?
I'm really tempted to try an iPhone 7. However I don't think I can buy it just to try it. If I bought it, I would use carphone warehouse shipping it to Barcelona. (Here in Spain it's much more expensive than there).
Regarding Nougat stuff...well I'm using a lot the new DoubleTap to fast switch between the last 2 apps and I love it... But sometimes it lags in the poor 5X with limited RAM.

I was lucky enough to run into a Google Rep at a Best Buy. From the short demo she was kind enough to give me it looked like she was using the phone as her daily driver. The device had a nick in it on the corner from what looked like a drop but the back and the glass seemed fairly flawless to me.
The back glass is Gorilla Glass based off of the tech specs. Also one thing I'd like to note is that the FRONT of the device is NOT 2.5D, the back window is. At least nowhere near as 2.5D as the iPhone.
Hi, swinging between a Pixel 6 and the Nothing. Not to bothered as will be in a position to upgrade next year.
One of the things that might come to weigh in the balance is Desktop Mode. The Pixel doesn't have it.
Does the Nothing Phone have Desktop Mode? I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere?
No.
There actually only some brand purpose this feature (Samsung Dex) and there not a lot of people waiting/using this feature.

Thanks. Yes, Samsung and Huawei those smartphone noobs... Shame, this is one person that does use it.
People find different things useful. I can't understand why some people are so hung up on smartphone speakers for example. To me it is obvious they are always going to be sh1t compared to real speakers. If you care about audio get speakers, real ones. Not ones that are less than 1cm in size. If you want them because you like to walk down the street taking loudly at your phone held at 90 degrees to your face and have everybody around you hear the whole conversation then you deserve the worst speakers around because you are an idiot. But that's just me.
