Vuzix Corporation said on Thursday that Phase 1 of its SDK is now shipping to app developers of its upcoming M100 Smart Glasses. Developers can now create and test their apps using the Android emulator configured as an M100 device.

According to Vuzix, the M100 Smart Glasses feature a built-in WQVGA color display backed by a dual-core TI OMAP4430 SoC (clocked at 1 GHz) and Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich". The screen's field of view (diagonal) is 16-degrees, equivalent to a 4-inch mobile device screen seen from 14-inches away. Other features include 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot for an additional 8 GB of storage, and an HD 720p camera.

The specs also reveal that the headset features an integrated head tracker. This provides 3-degrees of freedom head tracking, a 3-axis gyro, a 3-axis accelerometer, and a 3-axis compass. The gadget's battery can last up to eight hours of hands-free chatter, two hours with the display also enabled, and up to one hour with both the display and camera on. Connectivity includes 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS.

I love these things, I can't wait to see how the future of these devices unfolds.
That being said, I still prefer a nice book to a tablet.
