Google Glass Updates: New Stylish Design Offered by Net-A-Porter, More RAM in Future
Google is making some improvements and updates to its Google Glass eyewear, including more RAM, easier photography and introducing a third party eyewear company to include Google Glass in their product offerings.
Wednesday, Net-A-Porter announced that they will begin selling glasses with Google Glass built into them. The company will be the first third party retailer to sell Google Glass.
Net-A-Porter will sell Google Glass frames for $1,800 -- that's $300 more than the Google Glass. The retailer will offer five different colors of frames, for both men and women.
"We are thrilled to offer Glass to our tech-savvy customers who are true leaders and innovators in style and lifestyle," said Natalie Massenet, founder and chairman of The Net-A-Porter Group, in a statement. "We pride ourselves on leading the way in delivering the best in service, product, and technology and we are excited to bring Google Glass to our U.S. customers, ahead of the Glass consumer release."
Technology and style often don't mix, and Net-A-Porter said it wants buyers to look stylish while wearing and using Google Glass.
"The DVF | Made for Glass line will help fashion-forward consumers wear their Glass with greater style," said Max Goldberg, president of Max Goldberg & Associates.
Despite the high price, the Google Glass devices do look more fashionable, and Paula Rosenblum, managing partner at RSR Research said she thinks the price will drop "gradually."
In other Google Glass news, the company announced Thursday that they are pleased to offer 2 gigabytes of RAM with future shipments of the device.
The company also announced that taking photos with the Google Glass will be easier. Users will be able to verbally say, "Ok, Google, take a picture," wink or click the camera button.
What do you think of the new stylish Google Glass devices? Are they worth the extra $300 for the style? Leave a comment below and let us know.
