How bad do you want Google Glass? Do you want it so bad you’ll go through an exclusive process? Well April 15 may be your lucky day.
That’s because of April 15, Google will sale their portable Glass to anyone. So long as that anyone has $1,500. It’s only available in the US and this somewhat generous offer is for a limited time only. But don’t go looking for Google Glass at any technical store. You still have to fill out a form. This form includes why you want Google Glass. Google has increased the availability of Google Glass use, but you have the be invited to the Glass Explorer program. This offer includes a free shade or frame.
As far as making Google Glass more inclusive, this is a good start. But from what I’ve been reading, and what I feel, if they want to make this wearable computer more inclusive, come down on the price. I’ve heard suggestions of $1,000 (which sounds about right) to $150 (we’re talking wearable computer people, not a Commodore 64). And I say prolong this promotion, for as long as you can. If it sales well, make this available to some other nations. Just be careful which nations you choose. I used to scorn the Glass Explorer program, but now I’m understanding it. I can see why they want to be careful of who takes pictures with the bat of an eye. That kind of technology can be abused so easily. Will you be shelling $1500 for Google Glass?
