If Glass version 2 is cheaper than $1500, I'll most definitely buy it. And I guarantee a lot of people will buy it if it ends up being, say $800 or so. Even at $1500 it'll still have OK sales, simply because it's so unique and "cool".

I suspect a proliferation of glass, or glass like devices is going to result in a lot of lessons hard learned. Like we probably all learned that things said on forums are searchable and permanent. That off hand comment you make online may come back to haunt you one day. That is going to transfer over to real life. You need to act in public as if you were being recorded at all times. Assume that its going to be posted on youtube. Glass is just the tip of the iceberg. Similar concepts in contact lenses and cybernetics are coming eventually. There is going to be a day in the not to far future where you won't be able to tell a person has a recording device at all just by looking at them.
