Google glass now in UK (opens in new tab)

I don't want to get punched, so won't be buying one. But eagerly await seeing my first glasshole in the flesh.

For those of us not in the UK; could someone list the price?

Just interested to know if this is still the same $1.5k explorer dev kit that was in the US, or a consumer priced version.

Edit: a friend in the UK says its £1,000 - so still the crappy priced dev kit.

I really don't think Google should be rolling out Glass more broadly, given the state it's currently in. The software's just not ready. They had a bad release in April which removed video calling, Bluetooth keyboard support, and the ability to navigate Android apps with the touchpad, and introduced frequent kernel panics. They've cut down on the crashing a little bit since then, but still not fixed it entirely, but none of the missing features have come back. Add that to the dismal battery life, general bugginess and lack of features, and absence of developer support, and they really have no business rolling it out in new markets; the only value to them is collecting bug reports, and they've got way more than they can handle.

Really never understand googles retail strategy.

The website doesn't load for me (I'm in the UK).
