If you can say one thing about Samsung’s Galaxy S line of smartphones, it’s that they consistently pair some of the best hardware with inexplicable software. The S5 scales back Samsung’s bells and whistles, which helps make it easily the best Galaxy phone yet. If only they’d gone even further.
If you’ve been longing to be one of the elite, hand-selected by Google to try out their new Google Glass product, today is your chance. Google has offered Glass up for sale to the general public for one day only.
Google did not specify how many will be available for purchase today, but did say that they plan to have the product open to the mass consumer market later this year. Today you can purchase Glass and choose from a variety of 5 colors (charcoal, tangerine, cotton, shale and sky), and 5 different frame styles for clear lenses and 3 styles of tinted shades. The extra charge for the frame styles have been waived, but the product itself will set you back $1500.
There are also some Glass accessories available for purchase from Google as part of the purchasing process including earbuds (in different colors), a charger, a clear shield and a couple of case options. The device itself comes with a charger, mono earbud a pouch and the frame.

Google’s Glass has had its fair share of time in the limelight, whether it showcases the darker side of human nature, or our natural tendency to help out one another in times of need. Well, it seems as though the tech giant has future plans in the medical line after patenting a smart contact lens system that has an integrated camera. Could this be the next iteration of Google Glass – minus the glass? Now that would be a really scary thought, since it would mean someone could be recording what is going on without you knowing any better.
This particular lens that comes with a built-in camera could eventually be developed further in order to assist the blind to see as well as give them guidance. Apart from that, it also offers the wearer ‘supervision’ thanks to the ability to zoom in on a particular subject. In fact, it is as though the entire Glass system has gone through a shrinking ray in order to fit onto a pair of lenses.
Right now, the company is also working on lenses down the road that come with screen and medical sensors integrated, where the entire project is under wraps over at the highly secretive Google X lab. Smart contact lenses are nothing new, but this is definitely a development worth looking into.
