Get that girl off the stage! She doesn't have a clue as to presentation. She's ruining the Glass demo.

Hmm, no SD card slot is a big downer but for the price, resolution and weight, I think I'll get the 16GB version. It'll be darned hard for anyone to top that Project Glass announcement.

I realize that, but did you notice that there was total silence when he announced that price? I wonder how many jaws hit the floor?

It's definitely a much better device than the Fire. Now the ball's in Amazon's court. I wonder how they'll counter? Rumor has the Fire 2 appearing late July/ early August.

I would think no sd slot would be normal for a low cost device, but a high end device probably should include one. Job's issue was control, not cost.

Keep in mind there are some high end specs to this "low end" product, the display and cpu/gpu are top of the line.

LOL

I want a content device that'll work outside the cloud. I already own an excellent cloud device - my desktop.

Interesting the stats that they choose to present and leave off. ALL OF THEM.
