Tech-wise that's a pretty neat little product, it looks smaller and sleeker than the Recon Jet and the swiping interface is cool. I remember hearing an interview a while ago (possibly with Larry Page or Sergei Brinn regarding the Google Glasses) and they were of the opinion that the days of carrying around a screen (i.e. a phone or tablet) and having to physically look down at it all the time were going to come to an end sooner-or-later and people would accept a more integrated approach to consuming media, such as this. I can certainly relate to that, coming from a city where most people on the street wander around staring at their phones, rarely glancing up and completely oblivious to the world around them.

However, for cycling I still think this is a solution looking for a problem, I don't need stats or maps pumped into my eyes every second. Even just watching that preview video I got quite distracted by what was going on with the little screen off to the side and not paying attention to the "road". If the subject and the traffic around them were moving at vaguely normal speeds, I think it would be a lot more alarming to the viewer. I certainly wouldn't expect it to make my commute safer as the video suggests! Sure, at the moment I have to look down at my Garmin occasionally, but I can pick a safe moment to do this and the remaining 99% of the time it's outside of my peripheral vision and not distracting me.
