My two-week review of Google Glass: it all depends on the price

I agree that smart phones are a clumsy hack, but so are glasses you talk to.
Many years ago I speculated about something like Google Glass built into your eye (contact lens would be better, that didn't occur to me, oddly enough, especially since I wear contacts) that would somehow respond both to your thoughts or sub-vocalizations AND more importantly react to events proactively. That's less of a kludge.
It's a pretty convincing take on the product concept -- it surprised me.
