GOOGLES GOING TO LAUNCH GLASS COMPUTER CONCEPT

      

Google has given information of 'Glass spectacle-mounted' computer concept with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), but has requested that most of details be kept away from the public eye...

However,FCC has publically announced eight files of PDF, comprise correspondence between Google and the FCC and the results of some tests conducted by third-party labs on a Glass device.

One of the PDF documents, a letter from Google’s regulatory and compliance specialist Warwick Wong, reveals that Google requested the FCC *not* to release the filings that included photos of the device and it’s accompanying technical manual.

The reason for such a request is that “The market for the technology that is the subject of the certification application is a highly competitive one and if Google’s rivals become aware of the facts set forth, it could have an adverse effect on Google’s competitive standing and deprive the company and its shareholders of the marketplace benefit it otherwise might achieve by virtue of having a product available before other market rivals.”

The remaining documents don’t reveal an awful lot of new information about Glass, but by displaying Google's Glass concept computer hints strongly that the device is close to being ready for sale very soon.

A few things we can learn from the documents include the fact that Glass users will be denied 802.11n, as only the slower 802.11b and 802.11g will be included. There’s also a Bluetooth radio-- Broadcomm supplied the radios for testing purposes, so perhaps the company will score big once Glass goes into production, assuming that it does some day. Enjoy and keep smiling.
