> interesting things I want to share way too often.

I just got back from vacation, and I agree. The whole process of taking
pictures with my phone feels so cumbersome and annoying, especially for short
lived scenes. It's locked and in my pocket for security and safety because I
don't like to walk around holding my phone when I'm trying to enjoy the
moment. It feels like I could either have the phone be an appendage and then
have fairly easy picture capability, or actually be present in the moment but
then it's substandard for taking impromptu pictures.

I wouldn't have as much of a problem with a dedicated device, as I wouldn't
necessarily be as worried about breaking or giving someone access to the
device that contains details about every aspect of my life.

Alternately, something designed to be an appendage but in an unobtrusive way
(to the user, at least) might be just as good or better, as you suggest.

Yes, but I was being generic to be inclusive of both a camera and Glass. Not
to mention, camera has became almost as fuzzy a definition as phone,
considering all the features they pack into some of them these days...

I'd be more exited if it looked like Google had addressed some of Steve Mann's
critiques from the initial announcement, but as far as I can tell, the
critique is still not addressed:

 I just get back from vacation, and I agree. The whole procedure of taking 
 pictures with my earphone feels so awkward and annoying, especially for short

 don't like to walk around holding my earphone when I'm trying to enjoy the 
 moment. It feels like I could either experience the phone be an appendage and then 
 have fairly easy mental picture capability, or actually be present in the moment but 
 then it's substandard for taking impromptu pictures.

 necessarily be as worried about breaking or giving someone access to the
