Wait, how do you wear that? Does it go over ear or something?

Of course, there are cheaper and more discrete solutions, like this one [1], the one you linked is probably even more conspicuous than Glass, and half-VGA resolution is pretty bad. I use the linked one as cheap motocycle cam, and it is hard to aim properly with no viewfinder, but what you can expect for about $ 10.

I don't know if it's more conspicuous than glass - it's very similar to a lot of bluetooth headsets. And it's been out on the market for a long time with hardly any controversy.

There's lots of devices like this - I also remember some systems that cops wear that just clips onto the front of your shirt and looks kind of like a pager. Glass isn't particularly novel in this regard (except for maybe its connectivity via wifi).
