    Oh a new kind of advanced glasses, does it zoom or auto adjust to your prescription?

    Wait are they seriously trying google glass again? Why is it always the solution looking for a problem people the same as the supply side people. They don’t understand that demand is the real driver.

      Nobody had a demand for an iPhone before it was released. People just wanted a better Nokia

          My phone did have a browser, but you had to type in using the numbers. What I really wanted was a phone with a bigger physical keyboard

          Their point was that nobody knew they wanted an iPhone back then.

          • Why would I want a gimped web browser on LTE data rate when I have a laptop with Wi-fi?
          • Why pay all that money for what is just a phone?
          • Does this make better calls than a beater 3310? No? So what’s the point?

          Back then the most feature packed phones were either some psuedo-gaming device, or a Sony Ericsson you acquired from Japan with no warranty and likely region locking.

            I can’t just pull out my laptop at my shitty gas station job I had as a teen in 2007… I wanted an upgrade from my fucking slide phone’s shit browser. There was a huge market for it already. People KNEW they wanted it and it delivered.
