Besides, talking to your watch makes you feel like Dick Tracy! :-) ...still patiently awaiting my flying car and jet pack...

But talking to your glasses is fine?! I agree, voice control has it's time and place; IMO it's one of the interactions that make sense in a watch. The other is glancible data. People criticize IOs for not having widgets or Live Tiles (tm), but maybe on a watch, it starts to make more sense, and now completes the product offering... I don't think Glass will be huge, either. But it's not two-way that must be private (albeit that would be ideal)... if at least one half of the conversation is silent or privately viewed, that goes a long way. With Glass, others can't hear the incoming sound, and it doesn't require another device to accomplish that. Glass is limited, like Pebble and iWatch, but the fact that it doesn't actually contain mobile data capabilities itself. Until they miniaturize to the point where calls and data are handled by the wearable device itself, I think appeal will be capped.
