It's also the one day (http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/10/google-opens-up-glass-to-everyone-on-april-15/)where Google will open up the sale of its Glass wearable to the general public, meaning you won't need that Explorer (http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/04/google-invites-glass-explorer-edition-owners-to-upgrade/) invite to nab a pair. What you will need is $1,500, a US shipping address and a healthy dose of realism about the limitations of Google Glass as it currently exists. That's right; even though the curtain of exclusivity around the product is slowly but surely lifting, Glass is still very much in the beta stage, with short battery life and a limited number of apps.
Plenty of you have voiced suspicions that Google made this one-day-only event for the sole purpose of selling out of units and making headlines. Maybe so, but it's still a good opportunity for the curious who may have hefty tax rebates heading their way. If you want to take the plunge, make sure to point your browser here (http://www.google.com/glass/start/how-to-get-one/) tomorrow at 6AM Pacific on the dot, as supplies are indeed limited. In the meantime, tell us if you're planning to splurge tomorrow in our poll below the break.
