I think the future of mobile technology is not a smartphone or smart watch but in fact it will be a wearable eye piece. And Google Glass is the currently the only wearable eye piece technology commercially available.
Google Glass is developed by Google X, which is a secret Google facility.
Last year Google Glass Explorer edition was available in April 2013 and Google said in 2014 they will release a commercial version that will be a lot cheaper. So the explorer edition of Google Glass is basically a prototype for developers to test out the device so that they can develop apps for the Glass before it before commercially available.
The Explorer edition had a touchpad located on the side of the Glass, this allows the user to interact with the device. It also had a 720p camera that allows the user to take pictures and video from the user's point of view. Google Glass most important feature must be it's head on display, this technology is powered by it's Liquid Crystal on Silicon, field-sequential colour LED display.
Google Glass has Google Now, Google Maps, Google+ and Gmail functions, in the future there will be more third party application.
This is why I think Google Glass will be the future of the mobile technology, it might one day replace smartphone.
Lol, some people also have found fun use for Google Glass. Do not try this if you don't want to be a jerk.
