Definitely some cool tech.
Out of my disposable income price range for something like that because I’m not sure how actually useful it is (to me, anyway).
As far as using apps is concerned, I don’t fully understand the selling point. I think the beauty of apps on phones is that it’s easy to take
with me. I have a relatively long train commute and it’s nice to be able to check the news or watch a movie simply by sliding my phone out of my
pocket. I could never imagine dragging this thing around.
When I’m at home, I barely even use my phone and if there are some photos I want to show someone, I just sync to the television.
That bit about being able to see someone in the room…. I refuse to ever talk to someone who is wearing that thing on their face. Sorry, call me old
fashioned.
I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on this thing but I’m glad it’s out there. Sort of like televisions, the flat screens were once incredibly
expensive but now anyone can afford them. So in a few years I could see myself buying one as a gift for my wife or kids so they can play with it on
Christmas morning for a few hours (before putting it somewhere to collect dust).
