    How much will Google Glass be?

    I live in Ireland and the currency is Euro.
    I love the idea of Google Glass.
    The price of $1500 is a bit high.

    How much will it be when it is released?

    Yeah when I saw the initial $1500 I was a little skeptical but I have a feeling that it will be sub $1000 for the masses when it released. If not not, it may be a hard sell since that more than most computer, tablets, and phones.

    1500? Woah, that's way too much for me right now. It's nice to have something like this right from the start but I don't mind waiting in this case. The prices will drop and after some time the will be more apps etc. available.

    I think the $1500 applies to the early adopter/pre-release units that are already out there.

    When it hits consumer shelves, the price is likely to be lower than $500. Though probably more than $299 -

    For Euro pricing, I would guess you can just change the $ to €.

    Early adopters always pay more. There is no way this could become a mainstream consumer product at $1500.

    $1,500 is way too high. I don't think anyone is ever going to buy it if it's that expensive, especially in its current state. It needs to be something like $300 or maybe even cheaper for sure.

    No one's gonna buy it for $1,500. Well, maybe some rich people but I would not be able to afford it at that price. Like pxyc said, $300 or less would make sense. Maybe they'll come out with different versions, like they do for most modern devices?

    Google Glass Lite, $250. Sounds good, huh?

    I think $300 actually too low considering most smart phones nowadays run for about $500 off contract. I think they should make it around $600 because there's nothing like it, but lower it a few months after its release.

    Unless it can be compared to a low-end laptop that you wear on your face I don't see how that price tag will ever be acceptable. I could rent someone to walk around, check my e-mail, make my phone calls, and tell me things about the area I am in for much less than that. lol.

    I thought it will come for about $300, but after seeing that Samsung Galaxy Gear, their smartwatch, also costs $300, I think Glass is going to be more expensive. That smartwatch doesn't have so much hardware as Glass.
