Google Glass on the Shelf CDR King
The Philippine retail giant CDR King is bringing wearable computer Google Glass to its shelves soon. It is still under speculation if the company is bringing in the real Google Glass or a cheap knockoff. All we have is the teaser that is recently posted on Facebook:
"See Things Like You've never Seen Before.
Look out for Google Glass in CDR King store!
A stylish and classy way to see your screen.
Google on the Go!
Soon to CDR King . . ."
Notwithstanding high-ticket items like a 3D printer for P100,000 and electronic bikes that are priced from P20,000 to P30,000, CDR King has made a name for itself by selling all sorts of low priced and cheap products from China. Take note that when Google held a one-day sale for the wearable device back in April, early adopters were set back $1,500 or about P65,000. New potential technology will cost an arm or a leg to own.
People are still skeptical that the public is ready to embrace a product that's likely to spark privacy debates wherever it is available. Google Glass, as far as we know, isn't even supposed to be commercially available in its home country and we are talking about the U.S., let alone in the Philippines. A cheaper, consumer version is still rumored to be headed to select markets by year-end.
In case you did not know, the first iteration of Google Glass runs Android KitKat 4.4.2 on a dual-core processor, alongside 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. It also features a 640 x 360 display and a 5-megapixel camera.
