I was very disappointed with my Google Glass experience. Incredibly difficult to setup - it never synced properly with my Android devices, couldn't get it to scan my wifi network, and baffling controls.

Add to all of that I never found a single compelling use case. It was an interesting, but frustrating, novelty.

I was ready to go when I signed up to be a beta tester. I was ready to transform my entire, dull life just to seem more active for the beta phase (We want active testers!) but then Google called my bluff and asked me to fork over $1,500. Ouch! I was expecting maybe a third of that.

Did you feel disappointed with losing out on the money, or did that aspect not factor into your afterthoughts much?

I borrowed one for a few weeks from a friend.

Do they feel disappointed with spending all that money? Was their experience the same?

Most likely yes. Otherwise why lend it out for several weeks ;)
