Good camera, great internet but poor speaker: What real people - and not just the geeks - think of Google Glass

Good camera, great internet but poor speaker: What real people - and not just the geeks - think of Google Glass Google held a contest to find 10,000 people to try out the company's new Google Glass Users loved the voice-activated camera feature Those trying Glass said the major problem with the device is its short battery life Geeks aren't the only people wearing Google Glass. High tech: Sarah Hill describes using Google Glass as 'having the Internet in your eye socket' To get a sense of the advantages and drawbacks of the device, The Associated Press spoke to three Glass owners who have been using the device since late spring: Sarah Hill, a former TV broadcaster and current military veterans advocate; David Levy, a hiking enthusiast and small business owner; and Deborah Lee, a stay-at-home mom. Hill, 42, a resident of Columbia, Mo., became a Glass evangelist shortly after she picked up the device at Google's New York offices in late May. Glass has a hands-free camera that shoots photos and video through voice commands 'That's when it hit me that, "Holy cow, I don't have to cut the call off,'" Hill recalled.
