For the very, very few of you who may have actually been interested in acquiring one of Google’s smartglasses, today is your last day to do so. The $1,500 Explorer Edition of the Google Glass will be pulled from the Google Play Store at midnight, something that the company warned us about a week ago. Whether this will be the end of the project entirely is still up for debate, but it certainly looks that way.
We’ve got to imagine that anyone who wanted the current incarnation of Google Glass has already purchased it by now. But if you’ve been saving up your change to reach the Explorer Edition’s astronomical $1,500 asking price, today’s your last chance to place an order on Google Play. As we learned last week, once the clock strikes midnight, Google will halt sales of Google Glass as we’ve come to know it over the last two years. (The Glass at Work program will continue on, however.) There’s no longer any software roadmap to point to, so don’t expect much in the way of improvements or new features. If you’re buying Glass now, you should be happy with what it does right now. Because odds are, that’s the way it’s staying forever. It’ll take pictures, it’ll give you directions, it’ll answer your search queries, and a few other things; Google says there are “over 40” apps that currently work with Glass.
