The Explorer Edition of Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Glass will ship within the month. The exactly date remains a mystery, but sources tell Tech Crunch they are very close.
Google will host its annual developer conference in San Francisco beginning on May 15th and Glass is likely to be a major focus of the event, so the timing is not a major surprise. At last year's event developers were allowed to pre-register for Glass. 8000 additional hopefuls were allowed to compete to be the first to get their hands on the new device.
Google also announced today a venture it calls the Glass Collective. Google will partner with Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers to provide seed funding to entrepreneurs in the Glass ecosystem to help jumpstart their ideas.
In related news, Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) is viewed as one of the early beneficiaries of Google Glass and investors are keeping tabs on the stock ahead of the first shipments.
