In this case, the Note 7 appeared to show signs of scratching at around a ...

Corning pretty much has the smartphone glass market cornered. It’s on 4.5 billion or 73 percent of devices and it’s looking for more with the release of Gorilla Glass 5.The fourth version came out a couple of years ago, so what could’ve improved since then? Oh, just a difference of about 27 inches. Drop takes have improved by 60 percent, up to 1.6 meters — high enough for most selfie-takers with their outstretched arms and, sometimes, some clumsy knuckles.After tweaks and triumphs, the ...

Released to the public a little prematurely, even for a work in progress, aka Explorer Edition, Google Glass encountered a number of bumps in the road to mainstream popularity, and as such, was predictably halted early this year.But the ingenious headset’s creators insisted the end of the first Google Glass iteration wouldn’t be the death of the entire futuristic wearable ...

Google Glass is in the middle of a transition period. After its very public test run with the Glass Explorer Edition, Google took its vision for the wearable back to the drawing board, and has been working on a new Glass experience – one with new hardware, as well as (presumably) new software. We’ve been checking out evidence of this Glass headset over the past several weeks, while hearing rumors that the new Glass could be positioned as an Enterprise Edition

Google Glass is still moving forward, even after the initial hardware failed to find broad mainstream success, and we’ve been looking forward to the introduction of a new Glass headset at some point later this year; we’ve certainly seen FCC evidence that appeared to confirm work on that very project. Now some new rumors have been ...

Google Glass managed to get plenty of people excited, and for good reason. Far more than smartwatches, the tech seemed practically right out of science fiction, yet here Google was not just developing it, but giving the public a chance to experience it for themselves. While the original Glass momentum may have seriously slowed down (publicly, at least) since its heyday, work on the project has continued, and we’ve heard that
The post Google FCC docs might just point to new Glass hardware appeared first on Pocketnow.
What’s next for Google Glass? It was supposed to be the next big thing, it arrived in limited form… and then it seemed to lose a lot of its momentum. Was interest in the project being killed by the rise of smartwatches, delivering on the wearable dream while doing so through a much more approachable form factor? In the latter months of the 2014, it sounded like there could still be a future for Glass this year, even despite uncertain interest from the public – one of the few specific things ...

One of the biggest questions of the year, and even last year if you think of it, is the status of Google Glass. It’s amazing that Google began to tease a future of Glass since 2012, and now that we’re reaching the end of 2014, we still don’t have a product ...

The entertainment industry’s got a bit of a love/hate relationship with tech. While the rise of portable devices, higher-than-ever internet speeds, and ubiquitous connectivity, it’s become incredibly easy these companies to sell you content. Suddenly feel the urge to watch Caddyshack? Hop on a service like Google Play Movies, and you’re just a tap or two away from a streaming copy. But that same tech also makes it easy for pirates to capture and distribute extremely high-quality copies of the same media. As such, media companies have taken a hard-line stance against tech ...

What’s next for Google Glass? We just heard about a minor hardware upgrade earlier this summer, but we’re talking big moves: when’s Google going to come out with a commercially viable sub-$1000 Glass that shoppers can pick up from retail stores? The question’s been hanging over our head for literally years at this point, and Google doesn’t seem to be in a big hurry to answer it. But ...
The post Google design patent may hint at next-gen Glass appeared first on Pocketnow.
When Google first started selling Google Glass, availability was highly limited; potential buyers had to make their case for why they should be allowed into the Glass Explorer program, before even getting a chance to fork over $1500 for the wearable. And Google, having gone to all the trouble of cherry picking users like that, made it very clear in the terms of use for Glass that anyone caught renting, selling, or even giving away their headset faced Google remotely deactivating ...
