Anyone here lucky(?) enough to try out a Google Glass device?

Just curious since I know a few folks here are tech writers. It's odd, I've seen a few reports on it and still can't quite tell what it does although they mention up and down how it's a beta device and applications are still being written/thought of for it. For now it seems mostly like a $1500 camera.

Think this is our next collectible failed project or could it actually take off? The media sorta ignores all of the previous wearable computers that never took off (which I honestly at the time (90s) thought they were going to). Now I think unless it's very light (this one does look a hell of a lot less cyborg) and hardly noticeable it's generally too much of a distraction/geek statement to get much pop culture interest. Although integrate facebook and I can just imagine the number of kids who will scoop them up (despite the AT&T Face phone or whatever the hell that odd and apparent flop is).
 
Hmmm--Google, glass? I wonder...

Who's the most important man this country ever knew?
Do you know what politician I have reference to?
Well, it isn't Mr. Bryan, and it isn't Mr. Hughes.
I've got a hunch that to that bunch I'm going to introduce:
(Again you're wrong and to this throng I'm going to Introduce: )
Barney Google, with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes.
Barney Google bet his horse would win the prize.
When the horses ran that day, Spark Plug ran the other way.

Barney Google had a wife three times his size
She sued Barney for divorce
Now he's living with his horse

Do you think glasses would have helped old Barney?
