The pen HD version was on sale recently for about the same price at the local "candy store" (Frys). But for my uses the SD version is just fine. Look, these companies think up X amount of projects every year then senior management decides which ones will get funded. Glass was one of these but Google TV in both incarnations have flopped so far and one would think they would have been more successful than Glass. So Glass may flop too. As for being connected to the Internet, I've had Android phones for over 4 years but forget sometimes to do thing I could do with it such as someone recommending someone and then me not thinking about entering it on something even via voice. But the 20 somethings.... :-D
