All those pre-order Google Glass users who bought the Google Glass Explorer Edition for $1500 are starting to talk about their experiences with the wearable computer. Brandon Allgood, CTO of Numerate said that it was very lightweight and changed many of his habits. He no longer needs a clock or watch as just tilting his head back displays the time. According to him, his favourite feature remains Google Now as with it he is able to keep track of sports all night. His complaints for the device include the fact that low light shots aren't very good and while you can say "ok glass, take a picture" to take a shot it does not in fact allow you to frame a picture beforehand. The bone-conduction system on the other hand is great as he can now hear and feel sounds through his bones.
Dan McLaughlin of Agilent Technologies said that Google Glass becomes a part of you. According to him email messaging has never been easier but his complaint is that it does not work well prescription eyeglasses (something which Google have already said they are working on).
In related news, one early Google Glass recipient called Ed placed his device up for auction on Ebay. His starting price was $5000 but this soon rose up until $95000 before he cancelled the auction. Apparently Google will have the right to shut down any Google Glass device sold to a third party, which forced Ed to cancel the auction. A new nickname for these early Google Glass wearers has also surfaced in the form of Glassholes, which you can take either way.
