I feel like Google is missing its window of opportunity here, about one year ago there was a massive hype surrounding the Google Glass (from my perspective at least). And then nothing, a bunch of people got their hands on them and after the initial feedback, nothing.
The last time I heard about Glass was because someone got fined for driving while wearing them in California sometime last month.
That's partly how they bungled Wave, IMO. Too much hype too early.
But in this case, all they need to do is announce a price, release date, and all the improvements that the consumer version will have, and people will be interested. As long as there's no direct competition, the opportunity remains.

I've never tried Glass, but how close has it gotten to their original promo video?
