You can now get Google Glass right from the Google Play Store Although the device is still in its "Explorer" beta, Google has made the Google Glass headset available to all directly from the Google Play Store.
The price will still leave your wallet $1500 lighter, but at least the Glass comes with a free accessory (regular frames or sunglasses frames)

Google has kept the same five colors available: Black, Orange, White, Brown and Blue. As of writing, all models are still fully available and will ship in 1-2 business days.

In addition to the Glass and frames, you get a charger, microfiber pouch and a mono earbud.

There is still no word when Glass will come out of beta, although it seems very unlikely that happens in 2014. At that point, Google is expected to make the glasses available for under $500.

But that would mean someone might have to punch the wearer in the face to steal the glasses and NOBODY punches the face of someone that wears glasses :).....................RIGHT?

LOL. This expensive wearable tech like Google Glasses and smart watches are going to be more trouble than they are worth.
