Reportedly the new version of Google Glass also sports improved battery life, partly because of the Intel Atom CPU. The specific clock speed is unknown, but this tiny SoC has proven itself by powering most Android Wear devices. The inclusion of an optional battery pack states Google is aiming this device at industries looking for constant all-day use.

ah yes, the android wear devices known for their performance and battery life such as

The real question is... why use Google Glass when Recon Jet exists? If it had slightly superior hardware, smartlenses and was more hackable I would probably only remove them for sleep and formal dinners.

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
THANK YOU!!!

I know Google doesn't want to get "BlackBerry-ed" or "Microsoft-ed" of "IBM-ed" - i.e. build/develop a technology within the enterprise community to only have Apple come in and repurpose it for consumers once it's sufficiently ready - but that's the only way nascent tech like this will develop -> through the enterprise where the most-critical features will be carved-out and component costs will be driven down.

Just keep your eye on the Innovation Ball Google and disrupt yourself before Apple tries to in 5+ years.
