Sergey Brin picked a bad time to leave his Google Glass in the car | News | TechRadar: Not helping matters is Google's very own co-founder and father of Glass, Sergey Brin, who showed up on the red carpet at a Silicon Valley event last week sans Glass. A bare-faced Brin has become a rare spot, so naturally he was asked by one reporter about the whereabouts of his trusty Glass. Brin's answer? He left it in the car.
OK, so the fact that Brin made one outing without Glass isn't a reason to start the wearable's funeral arrangements, but he couldn't have picked a worse time to do it.
Interest in Glass is waning right now. Twitter recently pulled its Google Glass app, and it's not the only one. Reuters reports that out of 16 Glass app makers it recently spoke to, nine have either postponed or abandoned work on their projects, blaming both a lack of customers and certain limitations on the device.
It's going to be tough enough as it is to push Glass as an 'everyday' device, so leaving it in the car doesn't send the best message to would-be buyers. If Glass is going to take off it needs to be treated like a smartphone - something you'd never leave home without.
