Galaxy Gear vs. Google Glass: The battle for your wrist was just won … by your face!

  Yesterday’s unveiling of Samsung’s Gear smartwatch has some hyperventilating about how this oft-ballyhooed form factor has finally arrived. But as we watched the event unfold, and some of us even got our mitts on it, we couldn’t help but think that, stripped of the whole band and face, the Gear didn’t strike us as that different from another oft-ballyhooed form factor: Google Glass. What’s more, Glass is superior in most every way, and it’s not even out of beta.
