Google Glass available to the general public for one day only...April 15th

Have you been waiting anxiously to get your hands on Google Glass? Starting next Tuesday, the high-tech specs could be yours.

Beginning at 6 a.m. PT on Tuesday, April 15, any U.S.-based adult will have the chance to purchase Google Glass for $1,500. "The number of spots available is limited, so mark your calendar if you want to get in," the Glass team wrote in a Google+ post.

Initially, Google Glass was only available to those who attended the 2012 Google I/O conference and ponied up $1,500 for the device. The search giant then ran a contest on social media, which asked potential Glass Explorers what they'd do with Glass, and awarded invites to those with creative responses. More recently, Google allowed existing Explorers to invite friends to buy the specs.

"But 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 today. "So in typical Explorer Program fashion, we're trying something new."
