If everything goes according to plan, Google will have businesses actively using this version of Glass by the fall. You may have to wait much longer for the fabled consumer-friendly device, though. If you ask the WSJ's sources, the mainstream version is "at least" one year off. The one consolation is that it might not be nearly as expensive as the $1,500 Explorer Edition. The enterprise unit is expected to cost "well below" the Explorer's price point, and we can't imagine that a less exacting standard model would sell for more.
