Google Glass release date is the talk of the town as Google takes orders for the wearable gadget starting April 15. Google Glass price is still up in the air, but news sources say that the device that everyone wants to get their hands will cost half as much as the initial offering of $1500.
Analysts say that Google Glass could be a revolutionary tool in 2014, particularly after trade show fans got a chance to get a closer look at CES International in Las Vegas.
With Samsung Galaxy S5 and its accessories, the Gear 2, the Gear 2 NEO and the Gear Fit health fitness wearable will be launching on April 10.
The timely move by Google makes the Glass highly anticipated with the latest news stories about the Glass wanting the public to learn more about. According to the androidpolice.com, "The price remains faithfully locked in at $1500, but buyers will also have an option to choose between free frames (suitable for prescription lenses) or tinted shades."
On Tuesday, Google expected to unveil the wearable device to more than just a select group of recipients as was the case with the Explorers in the previous test run. However, the search engine firm confirmed that it would only sell a limited number of Glass 'pieces'.
Google's blog post said, "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."
"That's why next Tuesday, April 15th, we'll be trying our latest and biggest Explorer Program expansion experiment to date. We'll be allowing anyone in the U.S. to become an Explorer by purchasing Glass."
Tech experts have forewarned that this will be the year for the wearables, extending the reach of computing to headsets and wearables like the Glass. Google's campaigns to prompt the public to get involved included tweeting under the hashtag #ifihadglass.

Despite the oddities and opportunities of useful computing behind the Glass, legislators have taken a move to ban the Glass from public places for breaching privacy issues.
The Google Glass price for prescription lens frames will cost an extra $250, while su.glasses in Active, and Classic designs will run you another $150.
