In case you haven’t heard our bazillion reminders up until this point, here’s another: you can now buy the Google Glass, if you want.
The Explorers program is open to anyone willing to drop $1,500 for what’s essentially a long beta test for an emerging product. Of course, you have to live in the US to get in on it (otherwise you’ll want an overseas buddy to help you out if you’ve got the dough), and you’ll also have to do it by the end of the day.
That $1,500 will go toward the initial unit you get and likely any revisions that Google may or may not issue ahead of the device’s consumer release (the date of which we’re still not sure of).
You’ll also be able to choose between one frame or shade attachment, the former of which will be necessary for those who wear glasses and want to get their glass outfitted with prescription lenses. The base Glass unit itself is available in black, white, red, blue or gray.
Hear all you need to know? Get over there to order now, and hurry up because today is the only day you’re guaranteed entry into the Explorers program. Otherwise, you may have to wait for more invites to head out, and there’s no telling when or if that’ll ever happen.
If I had the money to throw down I would def buy a pair and wear them proudly. But too rich for my blood and wallet. Congrats to everyone who can afford to buy one and gets one.
My feeling exactly
Google Glass, or a down payment on a 2014 Toyota Corolla?
Get the car. Better on the long run
I already know that. LoL!!
I’m speaking with my Career services advisers at school. Graduating this summer and I’m looking at those. They look nice.
If I land me a nice job, Ima help myself to one of those.
Hardly everyone – it’s US only, I believe.
Too Expensive.
Flop.
At 1500 I need to have an idea to build an app for it and make money. Too much money for an accessory to my phone. I’m sure that their thinking.
Fill yer boots wannabe glassholes!
Man, I don’t care.
I briefly considered it… but I instead spent the money on an entry level dSLR and a PS4. Not regretting it one bit.
Smart move
Definitely the better choice.
I never saw the hype over Google Glass. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
