Google has just announced pre-orders for the Google Glass Explorer Edition at price of $1,500, reports TechCrunch.

Google Glass is real and will soon be shipping. Sergey Brin just took the stage at Google I/O, won the Internet with an amazing skydiving demo of the device and then announced that Google Glass is available for pre-ordering. Named Glass Explorer Edition, it's available to those at Google I/O and costs a whopping $1500. Plus, the device will not ship until next year. But Google Glass is real. This is big.

Update:
Unfortunately, pre-orders are only open to U.S. I/O attendees for now. Hopefully, pre-orders will be opened up to more developers soon...

Don't get me wrong. The concept looks sweet and the other video on there website is great. This Vid is just retarded and useless. When these go in full production in Oakleys or something. I am totally getting a pair.

The point of the video is that it was recorded WITH the glasses, so it demonstrates how you can record whatever "JackAss" moments you want to record in your life. So I guess Google's business model is, "You may as well give us your money now, since you won't be around to spend it for much longer." 'D

Understanding that this is for Developer's only, it's still a stretch. With a projected (nondeveloper) cost of $1500, and no idea of what is offers, there's no way to guage who may be interesed in it, or how many they will sell. Google in clearly interested in developing a range of applications designed for it, but I doubt developers will dedicate resouces to it until they see if they will sell or not.

Are google having a joke? Firstly, the glasses still look like development models, nowhere near commercial state. If they are not the final product, why not show us them before putting them on sale? Secondly, that was a video of people skydiving. Previously we have seen a video of people jumping on a trampoline. When do we get to see what we're actually buying? What does glass actually do and why on earth would anyone pay $1500 for half an ugly set of goggles. We don't even know what it does other than send a video feed of what's in front of you over the Internet.

The idea is for developers to get a head start on the consumer version of the device. These pre-orders aren't for the average consumer.
