Google Glass Is the Future — and the Future Has Awful Battery Life

[wraggster]

The concept of wearable tech is really buzzing right now as pundits tout smart eyewear, watches and other connected devices as the future of tech. It makes sense, of course — smartphone growth is slowing and people need something to hold on to — but the early 'Explorer' version of Google's highly anticipated Google Glass headset has major problem that could be a big barrier for widespread adoption: Awful battery life (http://bgr.com/2013/05/01/google-glass-battery-life/)."Also, a review of the hardware (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/google-glass-review/). The current Glass hardware heads south in less than five hours, which doesn't seem too short relative to similarly powerful devices, but since it is meant to be worn all the time you'd think it would have a large enough battery to make it at least 8 or 10 hours.
