Another Day...Another Google Flop

Google is ending sales of its Google Glass eyewear.

The company insists it is still committed to launching the smart glasses as a consumer product, but will stop producing Glass in its present form.

Instead it will focus on "future versions of Glass" with work carried out by a different division to before.

The Explorer programme, which gave software developers the chance to buy Glass for $1,500 (£990) will close.

The concept looked cool, but of course Google couldn't really expand on what it initially promised and that's what caused the downfall of this project. I think the price also had something to do with it.. Maybe the market wasn't ready for this kind of product.

Let's not forget that it looked goofy as fuk to wear. Until they get some name brands to sign on with it or make them look like normal glasses I'm not sure if it will ever take off

The glass experiment (beta) program is done, they are now working on the commercial version, and the CEO of Nest is now in charge of the program
