However, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt has said that the technology behind Glass is too important to throw away, and that the program has been put under the control of Nest's Tony Fadell to "make it ready for users" in the future.

Good point. Also, nobody hated the Newton. Its problem was just that very few people saw any use for it. A situation made worse by its shortcomings, it really was a product before its time.
On the other hand, people actually hate Google Glass. It's not a "before its time" product unless our future selves learn to love the creepy Google panopticon.
