No One Is More Excited For Google Glass Than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg

Which is why Google will probably keep the API's as tight as possible in the beginning, and as integrated into Google+ and Youtube as possible, and Zuckerberg and Facebook deserve that.

Sure you might be able to share some pictures, although probably not in a very easy way, but I'm sure Facebook will not be able to have any kind of deep integration into Glass or Glass apps.

It'll be completely jailbroken within a week of release, like everything else in the universe.

And if they try to force tight integration with G+ and youtube at the expense of Facebook, they'll just be insuring that consumers want to install the break.

Consumers will want facebook integration. If it isn't on the glass, there will be other products pretty soon that will have it

I agree with you. But there are different levels of integration. I can't imagine glass will be much different than Andoid when it comes to Facebook.

Setup your Google+ account to sign in to Google Play, and then you can install the FB app, if you want to.

In fact, when I imagine the Google Glass software, I imagine a modified/extended version of Android. That way it fits together with everything else - phones, tablets, google play, google+, etc.

My first guess was that it pairs with your Android phone. Does anyone have access to one that can comment on what it is doing?

Can someone throw me one so I can start reverse engineering things? please?

Wonder how long it will take for Samsung to whip up a galaxy glass

They can sell millions of devices before they even need to consider the wishes of mere mortals.

There is so much hype going on.

IMO, at over 1k per device they would be lucky to break 1/2 million units without significant improvements.

And that'd be an impressive set of early adopters – which would be huge for a product that is designed to share experiences. If it really is as compelling as it looks, a half million users will quickly sell many, many more units.

At least, that's my conjecture.

I'd be shocked if they sell hundreds of thousands.

That would open Google to accusations of hypocrisy, no?

Apple is one who likes a closed system. FB and Google both want to be on every platform and want everybody on theirs.

He's probably referring to stuff like Facebook not allowing you to export your contacts.
