We all heard about google glass at some point and how cool it is but also how expensive it is, and a lot of people think it's not worth the money.
currently every US resident above 18 with 1500$ to spend can get Glass, but back at april we heard that the parts of Glass cost only 80$ lets add another 30$ for assembly and shipping and we get that google spends 110$ to build one glass which is sold for 1500$. Google might explain the over pricing of glass by the payment for engineers and programmers but right now not so meny Glasses are being sold so it doesn't make sense that that's what pays all those devs so over pricing isn't really justified yet.
how would google make the device mainstream and still earn money from selling glass:
Google should start selling Glass at a price of 150$ to 200$, they would still make a profit and also would probably make glass extremely affordable and there so extremely popular (meaning the "Glass attacks" would stop) and as a bonus they will earn a huge head start at the wearable market before any big company (apple, samsung , lg...) makes a big effort, glass could be the iphone of wearables (launch early and setting the standers for smart glasses).
what do you think about this?
