I'll wait for Google Glass II (if it makes it that far)

The reviews are rolling in. For the most part, they’re not good. Google may have laid a major egg with Google Glass by building a device that has such a limited set of realistic uses that one might be better off taping a GoPro camera to their cap and wearing a quality Bluetooth headset connected to their smartphone instead.

iPad About to Drop in China

Looks like the iPed’s days are numbered – Cupertino has announced from on high today that the magical iPad will soon go on sale in China. Er, the Wi-Fi models, at least, for a suggested retail price of å…ƒ3988 (16GB) to å…ƒ5588 (64GB) – only a bit more expensive than over here. Not to shabby. The official PR hucks around all the usual ‘magicals’ and whatnot, and tells you everything you’re sick to death of hearing about iPads, so I’ll spare you. But where’s the 3G at?
