The Google Glass has yet to reach the mass market - which still is a long shot at present - but the first users are eager to share what the device has in-store for you.

Youtube.com videos showcase the features of the Google device according to first-time users.

The touchpad runs from the user's temple to his or her ear. A slight tap on the touchpad can switch the device on. Once switched on, a user can already see the display or timeline consisting of different cards appearing to be suspended just inches above the user's line of sight.

The first card on the timeline is the clock and a slight swiping gets user to the next cards like weather, calendar, directions, photos, videos etc. Everything can be adjusted manually through slight swiping, even photo sharing and email messaging. Finally, swiping downward sets the display on standby.

Price is 'Not' Right

The recently launched video has made the Glass all the more tempting. But, are we ready for such device, particularly with a marked price of $1500? As how Reuven Cohen puts it in his article in Forbes.com, "... not only are Apps important, but so is the price. $1500 is fine for early adopters, but for mass market appeal, the price will need to be inline with the cost of smartphones - probably in the range of $100 - $500 per unit."

Well-known technology and social media personality Robert Scoble agrees that the success of the Google Glass depends on the price.

Mr. Scoble is one of the few selected to pre-order the Glass and he had documented his hands-on experience with the Glass and posted it on his Google + account. While he said that he won't go another day without him wearing the device and undeniably people were overwhelmed with how stunning the device is, there is hesitation when the price is brought up.

During one of Mr. Scoble's presentations, he asked his audience "who would buy this" and he observed a consistent reaction from students to older audiences - few hands were raised when he, hypothetically, lowers the price at $500 but every hand were raised when he lowered the price at $200.

He observed a generation gap in the interest with older people mostly unconvinced and reluctant while 13 to 21 years old are zealous about the device.

Generation of "Old" to "Older" Users: Handle the Power

Looks like, price is not the only factor that will make people shilly-shallying about the Google Glass. Google acknowledges that there are places, where it is awkward to use the device because people are uneasy being photographed or being caught in video.

Google encourages the future users to always consider surroundings when using the Glass just as how it is important to be considerate when using mobile phones.

Google also admits that the Glass is not for everyone particularly for those people that are sensitive to eye strain and headache. The company recommends those who had Lasik surgery to ask their doctors about possible eye damaging effects prior to using the device.

Price aside, hands down, the Google Glass is truly ahead of its time. Lance Ulanoff in his article in mashable.com said that the device "... makes you look a little bit like you've joined the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation... Google Glass could be the next big thing because it's a piece of powerful, yet elegant consumer technology that anyone can use with almost no training."
