"Each step in human technological advancement provides improved methods for the distribution of cat photos. Project Glass is no different."
On a slightly more serious note, I'm glad to see this since I feared that they might keep the API for later, instead opting to try and make a "product" first (a la iPhone 1 or Google+).
This API is definitely not what I was envisioning though - I expected another API add-on to Android, where you can take over and do what you wish with the display, so perhaps it is a bit like webapps-as-apps on the iPhone 1. I'd be interested to see what early adopters do with it and if they find this API too limited.
I was also fairly disappointed, it looks like 5 out of 5 of my ideas for what I wanted to do with Glass can't be done with this API. But I'm hoping they wanted to get some basic / easier to implement API out as fast as possible while still working on more interesting support on a side (native apps, in particular).
