Google Glass goes on sale to the public once again, but this time it was a fluke
Update: That was fast. Today's extremely limited Google Glass sale is already over and all of the colors are out of stock, not just the white version.
Google sold through its inventory a lot faster than the April 15 'one-day-only sale.' But today's low-key sale is a good sign. More of the same may come at random times, as was predicted.
Original story below...
The one-day Google Glass sale of last week seems to have silently been extended today with the wearable computer available to everyone.
That's a relief to anyone who missed out on the 24 hour sale that Google held on April 15 as well as people who the wanted Cotton white color option that sold out midway through the day.
Added good news: this sale includes prescription glasses frames or a sunglasses shade for free. That's a perk that wasn't available to previous buyers before April 15.
However, it's not good news for price conscious folks who has been waiting for a cheaper Google Glass consumer version. That's not expected until later this year.
Entering into the Google Glass Explorer Edition beta still costs $1,500 (about £893, AU$1,619) plus tax.
Rules still apply
As per usual, today's Google Glass sale is only open to US residents who are at least 18 years old.
Google hasn't tipped its hand as to when the UK and Australia are due for Google Glass, but additional details about the wearable device are expected at Google IO on June 25.
We reached out to Google to determine whether Glass is in for another 24-hour sales stint or is going to stay available to the public for the long haul.
