Or in Portugal, in my case. I've been wondering just how long would it take for this kind of thing to hit the market for YEARS now.
Now, please do give us a 720p screen, and (not sure if possible, but it would be sweet) maybe tricking our eyes to superimpose the contents of both the HUD and glass sides (unless "it's not transparent" means you'll need tinted lenses, but it would still let you see through the one where the HUD is, in which case YAY!), so we can finally have Layar-like apps working as originally intended.
As for price... If they could replace my phone (currently sporting an original SGS), I'd probably go as high as I went with that phone (~€600, I usually buy them without a contract), but if not, less than that. I know it's a niche market, but if we're talking SGS-era specs (which has now trickled to about €250 or so, probably less), it would be a tough sell at that €600 price point, without phone capabilities. Though now that I think of it, it would be rather odd to have to put your tinted shades on, inside, to answer your phone... lol
For uses, the GPS with Layar-like overlays would be cool to have. Plus widgets with to-do lists, appointments, date and time right on my field of view (FB/Twitter feeds would probably be possible too, though I personally wouldn't use those). However, as noted earlier, if the shades actually need to be tinted, it severely limits the target audiences. One would look ridiculous wearing what essentially are sunglasses inside... Not to mention visibility would be severely impaired, even if you didn't look ridiculous, leading to added eye strain when working...
However, let's see how this one works out, shall we?
