However, if they let devs make apps for this, I think the more specific use cases that 3rd party devs can address could make this a new type of "daily carry" device that could replace smart watches.

My gut says that lots of people will buy this device because its a neat way to live in the future for a bit, but that it won't really retain users and they will go back to using their phone, wireless earbuds, and smart watch.

The live translation/subtitle features are highly useful in specific situations when you're traveling, but your phone can also do that.

In the US this isn't how a lot of people communicate so I think it will let them down. Internationally this might fit well into how people already communicate day to day where Whatsapp is popular.

The apps you can interact with on it are limited, and we didn't hear anything about a timeline for when devs would be able to put their own views on the Display's display. You can't place phone calls from it via your phone (as far as I know), only Whatsapp calls.

For a 15 min demo this is fine, but I think this will get pretty tiresome though the course of the day as it chafes. You can't really interact with the UI without it.

However, while the EMG wristband is really cool, you have to wear it very tight on your wrist in a specific orientation for it to work properly.

Sound was just ok. Lots of sound bleed others would hear at higher volumes. Bass was very thin.
Comfort of the glasses is better than any similar AR device I have ever tried. I can easily see myself wearing these all day without it bothering me.

The user interface has some brilliant gestures, but also pretty unintuitive navigation. The "imaginary pen" text input is great as is the "imaginary knob" adjustment for volume and camera zoom.
