A lot more people are about to get a chance to buy Google Glass, the Internet-connected eyewear that has become the hottest accessory in geek fashion.
Google will sell the “Explorer” version of Glass to any U.S. resident over the age of 18 who places an online order for the device beginning at 9 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, April 15. The product will cost US$1,500, the same price that Google Inc. has charged for Glass since sales of the device began last year, the company said Thursday.
The sale will take place athttp://google.com/glass/start/how-to-get-one . Google isn’t saying how many sets of Glass will be available during the limited-time offer.
“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,” Google said in a blogpost Thursday.
“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 the U.S. to become an Explorer by purchasing Glass.”
It marks the first time that Google has made Glass available to consumers without providing them special access. More than 10,000 sets of Glass have been sold to a select group of developers, contest winners and other invitees.
