Wow! I never thought of paring a bluetooth keyboard. This could be an excellent use case for something like Ubuntu Edge. A full operating system, displayed through glass and bluetooth keyboard attached. Sounds prefect to me :D

Google actually demoed Glass running Ubuntu inside a chroot, with its GUI shown in VNC over loopback. Setting it up was a pain, but this gets you a working web browser, which Glass doesn't have otherwise. But it isn't possible anymore, unless you feel like decompiling and trying to fix Google's bugs for them.
