Google Glass Apps Start to Hit the Market

While Google Glass is about a year out from being available to the general public, apps are already starting to come out for Google Glass from early testers and developers eager to to be first to come to market.

Google Glass which has been designed with the idea to let Glass be manipulated with touch, gesture and voice, already has an app out that has already garnered a lot of attention called Winky. The app enables a user to take a picture of whatever they're looking at with just a wink.

Check out this video from inhabitants of Willamsburg, Brookly giving their opinion on Glass.

Google Keeping It In The USA... Manufacturing Glass In California

The highly anticipated, futuristic digital eye-wear from Google named Glass will reportedly be manufactured in Santa Clara, California. Google will be working with Hon Hai Precision Industry, better known as Foxconn, to assemble the product. Foxconn has been used by Apple for assembling iPhones, iPads and other Apple products. 

This announcement by Google is yet another example of a high profile company bringing manufacturing back to the US and giving a boost to President Barack Obama's drive to bring  “the next revolution in manufacturing is ‘Made in America’.”

Last year, Apple was the first major U.S. company to take President Obama's proposition seriously, with Apple CEO Tim Cook pledging to invest $100 million in American manufacturing and building one line of its Mac computers in the US.

Google currently has not commented on the story, so this report hasn't been confirmed as of yet, however if Google does indeed manufacture Glass in California, it would be a huge boost to American manufacturing and possibly pave the way for other U.S. electronics companies to follow suit.
