Google Glass: I am so cramming this into my helmet!

If it gets people to look ahead while walking, I'm all for it.
 
Google Glass, the solution I've been looking for all my life.

Now I can drive and browse GTAM at the same time!

Now? Ok.

Not that I drive and surf, but with the e-brake bypass relay, I can.

Kind of silly as suggested in the video that we need goofy glasses now to check the weather, find our boarding gate at the airport, and seeing what time it is..... I do think this tech has much potential for recording vids to the cloud and stuff where it can truly become useful. Law enforcement is prolly licking their chops over these glasses.
 
In University I had to do a study on cell phones, and the correlation to brain tumors. The results were actually quite shocking. A lot of the information is out their however it's not widely published as the major firms want to keep it all hush hush to make money. I bring it up because I can only imagine what this thing can do to scramble your brain. By the looks of it, you are wearing a wireless card, LCD, and a micro processor on your head for extended times. I can only assume the long term effects won't be very good.

Off topic, but how do you like the appradio?

It's great, but I would recommend using a jailbroken phone with Appradio extensions+ installed through Cydia. Allows full phone control through the unit vs. the limited apps Pioneer allows through their app. With a VNC app like ORB Live and a TV tuner in your (running) home PC you can watch any SD TV channel that's on your home cable.

Cool, shame it doesn't work with the iPhone 5

Pioneer missed the boat entirely. Instead of just designing a head unit with Android built right in, they concocted some crap that requires your phone to be plugged in for functionality. I was excited when I first heard about appradio but it quickly became apparent that it's garbage.

All someone needs to do is turn a 5-7" Android tablet/phablet into a double-DIN product with a tuner and amp built in... done deal.

The more I look into it, the less appealing it seems. Can't believe it doesn't even have something as simple as bluetooth audio streaming.

No wonder you can pick one up for $140 from Crutchfield
 
It had potential but it turned up garbage.

I really thought they were going to integrate it properly or give it a real OS. There's still room in the market for such a device and I can't believe the large car-audio players haven't jumped on the opportunity. You can install Android on almost ANYTHING, and the hardware to run it is dirt cheap. Instead they use proprietary stuff made in-house by designers who couldn't build a decent GUI to save their lives.
 
My Pioneer Navi double din unit crashed a month into using it. It would go into a resetting loop on startup. Even though it was a well known issue with those AVIC units, Pioneer wanted me to send it back on my dime, have it in shop for 2 months and bill me upfront, IF it was deemed a warantee issue they would reimburse me....fack that noise. Thing was running Windows for faks sake! There was a hack to upload unlocked software which allowed you to run other programs....but it also allowed you to reinstall the operating system.

The thing would run for about a month and crash...reinstall the OS and a month later it would die again. After 6 months it finally died with no way to return it. The fan in the back would turn on and thats it.

Pioneer told me to basically **** myself...

Last time i buy a Pioneer product.
