For a limited time starting Tuesday,
Google will make the wearable
device available to more than just
the select group of users such as
apps developers in its Glass Explorer
program.
In a blogpost, Google did not say
how many pairs it would sell, just
that the quantity would be limited.
"Every day we get requests from
those of you who haven't found a
way into the program yet, and we
want your feedback too," the
company said on a Thursday
blogpost.
"That's why next Tuesday, April 15th,
we'll be trying our latest and biggest
Explorer Program expansion
experiment to date. We'll be
allowing anyone in US to become an
Explorer by purchasing Glass,"
company added.
Many tech pundits expect wearable
devices to go mainstream this year,
extending smartphone and tablet
capabilities to gadgets worn on the
body, from watches to headsets.
Google has run campaigns in the
past to drum up public involvement,
including inviting people to tweet
under the hashtag #ifihadglass for a
chance to buy a pair of the glasses.
Google Glass has raised privacy
concerns, prompting some legislators
to propose bans on the gadget.
