       | Well if true that would be a good news. Can't wait that more R&D

       | especially Apple who knows how to release hardware that works

         | Jokes aside, I agree - I think they're taking their time with
         | this and it might bring something interesting to the scene.

       | really disappointed when they killed it off.

       | I want a HUD in my glasses. I want to read text messages and get
       | navigation directions without having to look down at a screen.

       | for base model, lots of press about how affordable it is.
