Boston, MA 01/01/2014 (wallstreetpr) – Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) is expected to release its eyewear supercomputer gadget known as Google Glass this year. There have been a lot of talks surrounding the device, with most of these talks being centered on their potential benefits. And of late, early adopters of the device have been talking about price as well.
When Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) released the devices for trial by app developers, it was reported that the device was sold for about $1,500. For tech experts who wanted to try out the device, this amount couldn’t seem much, but to the mass market, it is substantially huge.
Tech pundits as well as early adopters of Google Glass believe that if the price is not set bellow $500 the device may have a slow start in the market. While tech pundits agree that 2014 could offer an uphill task for Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) as regards penetration of Google Glass in the mass market, there is no dispute that the future of the device is bright beyond 2014.
Google Glass pricing
It looks highly unlikely that Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) will price its eyewear computers below $500 in 2014. This would essentially mean that the device could be doomed in the first your of launch. However, investors can continue keeping an eye on the company to see how it makes price adjustments on the device to attract larger sales.
Google Glass
When launched in 2014 as had been earlier hinted, Google Glass will be the newest smart-device from the Internet search giant Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) this year. The company last year launched several products which included its low-cost smartphones and tablets.
So far the company has reserved its comments on its eyewear computers. However, early adopters of the gadgets say that there are still not enough apps in the device. Its cost and the fact it’s not supporting popular social network platforms such as Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) would slow down its mass adoption.
Problems have also been reported about the device being low in battery-life especially where video shooting is concerned. Also, pushing images to smartphone from the Glass in real time is reported to be relatively challenging. Perhaps Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) will have to address these issues to ensure that the device meets the high expectations of the market.
