Yes, you read that right: Philippine retail giant CD-R King is bringing wearable computer Google Glass to its stores. For display or for sale, we don't know just yet. Wait, we don't even know if the company is bringing in the real thing or a cheap knockoff. All we have is this teaser it recently posted on Facebook:

"See Things Like You've never Seen Before.

Look out for Google Glass in Cdrking store!

A stylish and classy way to see your screen.

Google on the Go!



SOON ON CDRKING . . ."

Okay, let's say that CD-R King is indeed selling Google Glass. We'd be quite surprised because it's out of character for CD-R King to do that. Notwithstanding high-ticket items like a 3D printer for P100,000 and electronic bikes that are priced from P20,000 to P30,000, the company has made a name for itself by selling all sorts of low-priced 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. Naturally, any new, potentially disruptive technology will cost an arm or a leg to own.

Secondly, we're still skeptical that the public is ready to embrace a product that's likely to spark privacy debates wherever it is available. Go ahead and search for "Glasshole." As promising as it appears to tech enthusiasts, Glass has cast a shadow of "Glasshate" on the Web.

Lastly, Google Glass, as far as we know, isn't even supposed to be commercially available in its home country—we're talking about the U.S., of course—yet, let alone in the Philippines. A cheaper, consumer version is still rumored to be headed to select markets by year-end.

In case you didn't 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.

CD-R King has promised to post more information about its teaser soon, so we'll keep our eyes peeled for that.
