Glass was never a finished product. It was sold as a dev kit that non-devs snapped up.



Right. My point exactly. Google releases half baked consumer goods, then kills them later if they aren't a hugely important strategic line (like the Nexus/Pixel) or not a runaway success. The idea that Google could build a fitness tracker or smartwatch from scratch in a matter of months and it would be better than what FitBit currently has to offer just seems silly.

Seems to be a finished-ish enterprise product now.
