Here’s what you won’t see in Glass: advertising. Brin stated
pretty vehemently that they have no plans to integrate advertising
into Glass and that the only plan is to simply sell the hardware, which will be
“significantly” cheaper than the $1,500
Explorer Editions that were announced today. The Glass team says they’re
focused on the quality of the experience and not making it as cheap as possible.
(Thank
gawd.)
Core Google apps like Gmail and Plus (Hangouts) are being tested now along
with Android apps. What isn’t clear is whether or not the Android and Google
apps teams are working with the team at Glass and vice versa.
