I like that they featured indoor maps, which is a pretty neat project they’ve been working on. I like them. I’ll use them as long as they end up looking more stealthy than the prototypes they’ve shown so far. That said, this obviously opens up a whole new world of privacy issues… should be interesting. ---

I’ve used and fixed them all, iPhones are better, hands down. Android absolutely blows in an Exchange environment, which is a “Big Deal” to companies. iPhones do a better job of connecting to Microsoft products than fn Windows Mobile phones do, and Microsoft is everywhere whether you like it or not. Face it, your a fanboy unless your using anything BUT a smartphone. ---

If you give that big of a shit about Exchange you’re using a Blackberry anyway. If you like paying Apple for shit everyone else does for free, then be an iFag. Otherwise, go Android. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/google-glasses-google-glass/221827.md?page=2)
