The shockwaves created by the iPhone and its App Store, for instance, are still being felt across the computer industry. It’s uncertain whether Glass will have a similar impact, but Google is creating high expectations that it will become a mass-market device (see “Google Wants to Install a Computer on Your Face”). While being secretive about certain key details, it intends to start selling Glass this year and has already been looking for outsiders’ ideas that could help make the device a hit. Last month, Google held two-day hackathons for selected developers in New York and San Francisco. (It had “Glass Foundry” attendees sign agreements to stay silent about their experiences.) It has also given early access to certain, but not all, developers of popular smartphone apps that could be a natural fit for Glass’s tiny, head-worn, Android-powered display.
