Yesterday, Google contacted all the those Explorers (developers) who signed up for the Google Glass 'Explorer Edition' at the Google I/O last year, letting them know that the Google Glass is all ready now.
At last both the hardware and the software for the Google Glass are ready and the first few units are off the production line, ready for shipping. In an official mail informing the Explorers, Google mentioned that 2,000 Explorers who believed in the project, signed up for the Glass.
In the mail Google made it clear that not all the 2,000 units are ready, it's just a few that are out of the production line and it would be shipping the units in waves."We know you've been standing by patiently to get Glass. So, instead of waiting for all of the devices to be ready, we want to start delivering them to you now. We’re producing enough for everyone, but only a portion of them are ready today. Therefore, we’ll be notifying you in waves, and as soon as we’re ready to invite you, we’ll let you know. When the time comes, you’ll receive an email with all the details."
Along with this update, Google has also announced (at last) the features and specifications of the Google Glass on its support forum.
Here are some below:
- Adjustable nose pads and a durable frame that fits any face, with two sizes of extra pads.
- High resolution display, equivalent of a 25 inch high definition screen from eight feet away.
- 5 MP camera with 720p video recording.
- Bone conduction audio
- 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- 12 GB usable memory, synced with Google's cloud storage services
- A full day of battery life on typical use, less if you're doing video recording or Google+ Hangouts.
- Micro USB cable and charger included.
