Doa imo. Absolutely pointless given existing tech and it's price and subscription.
It’s not out of price for first adopters. What are you talking about? This is not replacing your phone.
I don’t know what people are smoking here but this is about the price that I was expecting for this device. I was actually expecting around the range of Google Glass, so this is actually cheaper. You guys think that leap forwards in tech should come at the price of a Big Mac and be accessible to everyone.
We should rather discuss the UX, usability and tech itself rather than focusing on an inconsequential price point. If it takes off and there is a mainstream version then we can talk market pricing.
It's a shitty smartphone without a screen.
The first PDA was the Newton, total disaster. The first cellphone weighed 2 kilos (5 pounds). The first VR didn’t have gyroscopes.
Give it time. It might be the next 3D TV or it might become something. Too early to tell.
