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. Have you actually looked at usage trends for mobile devices? What exactly do you think people are doing with their big screened phones? BTW, check out the size of the battery on the Pebble. Good luck trying to sell a smartwatch that wont get you through an hour of actual data/voice usage. Slacker
