Google Glasses for All?

The rumor has been out there for years, that Google was developing a glasses-style interface for interaction and search.  We examined the general idea for maintenance applications, which was offered by a couple of vendors in the early 2000s.   Now it is out that the heads up display in the form of eyeglasses will include a number of smartphone capabilities.  Will these smart-glasses excite the public?     A head mount system is a more convenient mobile arrangement for certain hands-free operations, but not stylish.   But then neither was holding a puck to your head.
