Google Glass Explorer Edition up for pre-order only for devs: $1,500, coming early 2013
After a jaw-dropping live demo of Project Glass, the biggest alternative news Google just brought is that it's opening Glass Explorer Edition to pre-orders to select US-based developers at its I/O event. The Glass Explorer price is set at $1,500 and will ship in early 2013. 

The company also gave more substance on Project Glass. First and very importantly, the frame weighs less on the nose than many sunglasses and that's great news as chances are you'd be wearing this a lot once you get it. Google demonstrated a new frame, so that it can actually fit on top of traditional glasses. Glass’s main two uses will be communicating through images which you can take literally everywhere and the second is very quick access to information.

But really much about this is up in the air right now. That's why Glass is going to developers - their (possibly yours if you're at I/O) input will help really shape this device.

Are you as excited about this as we are?

Everyone at that event is getting a GNexus + Nexus 7 + Nexus Q. Holy jesus.

Know what that means?
We may have JB for GNexus within a couple days or so.

People in the Apple universe are going to get confused by JB. Jailbreak / Jelly Bean..

People in the Apple universe are confused already.

To me $1500.00 for something that has never been done before is just bonkers. This looks to be the real deal. I mean I can think on a million things to do with the unit right now.

In the scheme of things $1500.00 dollars is really not that much & to think when it comes out it will be even cheaper. I am so excited about this, this is PURE innovation & the guys at Google X are modern day mad scientists! lol

I have a stricter definition of innovation then most. Even I deem this as innovation as the possibilities of it are amazing.
Two concerns though:
Its high in price
Brain Cancer anyone?
My definition of innovation is a product that changes an industry or creates a new one and has new aspects to it.
Apple has done it three times with the ipod,ipad, and iphone. And now google has glass. Job well done. I think for a company to do one thing this is innovative is a huge accomplisment.

You mean the same product in different sizes? NOW THATS INNOVATION!

Google for the win!!!!

haha... to be honest these glasses look lame as hell...lol

i give props to jelly bean, nexus 7 and nexus Q but this glasses project is garbage...lol

they have to come up with a better way to design it...

4. Birds posted on 3 days ago, 13:41 2 1

I like it. the design is thin and light looking, it seems like tech from 2020 not 2012-13.

7. good2great posted on 3 days ago, 13:44 1

u know what you're right... that explains why i dont like it... lol its waaaay before its time... maybe in a few years i'll be more accepting of it...

good concept but this isn't anything people will be using today...

It always seems to be on the right eye, but what if you have a bad right eye or no right eye.

13. dmckay12 posted on 3 days ago, 14:19 1

Then they will probably make ones for those who are left eye dominant.
