Google Glass Is Available to Everyone Today: How to Buy It

UPDATE, Tuesday April 15, 4:00 p.m. ET — Google says there is a chance this sale may be extended. In an email to Mashable, a Google spokesperson wrote: "The sale may go longer than a day; we just have to see how well everything works and how well we handle the demand."

As of 3:36 p.m. ET, the "Cotton" color of Glass was sold out.

Today at 9 a.m. ET, everyone in the U.S. will be able to buy Google Glass.

Google announced the plan last week. "Every day, we get requests from those of you who haven’t found a way into the program yet, and we want your feedback too," the company wrote in a blog post.

Google Glass is not commercially available yet; it's been available only to Google Glass Explorers in other words, only through a very limited beta-testing program.

Now, Google is opening up the program and folks in the U.S. will be able to get the Glass for $1500 + tax. Google has apologized to everyone else, saying it's "just not ready yet to bring Glass to other countries."

The price is steep, but at least Google will throw in frames or a shade of your choice.

To get the Glass, you need to be 18 years old, and you need to be a U.S. resident with a U.S. shipping address. Then, go to this address today, April 15, at 9am ET. Be fast, as the number of spots available is limited. You can also sign up for a reminder at the same address.

And, if you're wondering what Glass is good for, well, you can browse the web with it, you can create stop motion videos with it, take sneaky photos hell, you can even have sex with it. Just don't be a Glasshole.
