MC2 Post 1729 The Nexus 5 Gets A New Color And A New Rumored Launch Date









There really isn’t much we don’t know about Google and LG’s new Nexus 5 at this point — a leaked service manual blew the door open on plenty of technical details, and Google even “accidentally” outed the device in the Google Play Store, giving us a $349 price tag for the base 16GB model.



In case you haven’t been keeping up with the Nexus 5′s long journey from rumor to actual product, the Android 4.4 KitKat device is said to sport a 4.95-inch display running at 1080p and a quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at 2.3GHz. Oh, and let’s not forget 2GB of RAM, an active LTE radio, and a mildly improved 2300mAh battery — all told we’re looking at a pretty solid update.

Google Glass hardware update soon 
with three more invites for Explorers




Google will swap Glass Explorer Edition users headsets for an updated model from November, an optional refresh of the hardware that will support prescription lenses among other things, along with adding a broader invite system to get more testers up and running with the wearable. “We are always improving the software based on Explorers’ feedback,” Google said today and this time, we’ve made some improvements to the hardware.” Meanwhile, all Explorer Program members will be offered the chance to invite up to three people to buy Glass of their own.


Supposedly when they order it online, and at  $1,500 apiece that means it’ll still be a toy for the well-heeled or businesses hoping to get on the Glass development bandwagon.
