The offer has generated quite a response as Google Glass' official plus posted the following message today: To all of our fans living outside the US: thanks for talking to us, and we hear you. We know some of you are frustrated that you can't apply for the Glass Explorer Program, and we're sorry. We have some logistical and regulatory limitations right now, but we hope to make Glass more widely available in the future. Google Glass video screengrab. Google had earlier showcased its device at its I/O conference last year. The Glasses which were sold to developers for $1500 plus taxes at the conference, are Google's most prized project, as far as tech innovation goes. It was also reported Google would be setting up its own retail stores to ensure that consumers got a hands on experience with Google Glass, in order to ensure that they would eventually purchase one. You can also check out images of Google co-founder Sergey Brin wearing Google Glass on the New York Subway and of the Glasses being shown off by models for the DVF show at New York Fashion week.
