Google has famously proclaimed... *Do no harm*
the Absurd
Google insists that the GGs must not be resold commercially

Heads-up display on one side only.... two sides would be much better
very little FLOSS
Google seems to be invoking a lot of secrecy about GGs.

Secrecy
As of April 30th 2013..... There are mixed messages about how much secrecy Google will impose on the details of Google Glasses and 3rd party development of GGs.

Sound
http://www.geek.com/mobile/how-sound-works-on-googles-project-glass-1531301/
Project Glass headsets are designed to rest on your ear in the same way a pair of glasses would. The headsets extends for about two inches beyond the ear, resting on the mastoid process just behind your ear. The speaker on Project Glass headsets play directly onto the mastoid process, which is connected to your middle ear. As sound plays from the speaker, the user is able to hear soft tones played quiet enough that no one else nearby can hear. In theory this means that when a user gets a notification, only they are aware of it.
Competition
Project Glass competitor Vuzix uses a combination of an “ear speaker” and noise-cancelling microphone with its smart glasses. While they accomplish many of the same goals as Project Glass, the company seems to be pushing for lower tech solutions that be pushed out quicker and for less money than Google’s offering.
My Wish List
== I wish GGs concentrated on linking with other body computer components.
== I want much improved audio performance .... I hear it sucks
== Police are now smashing , mashing and grinding cameras of all types into the concrete while *resisting arrest*........ GGs need a new feature... combat hardening.
