Google Glass taking orders the 15th

Did they reduce the price or is glass still $1,500? I could not find this information on the web site.

I am very curious about what will be the final price for glass and more specifically, if it will be more expensive or cheaper than an iPhone or equivalent Android phone.

They sent me an email:

> This isn't the same Glass you saw last April. In the past year, we've released nine software updates, 42 Glassware apps, iOS support, prescription frames, and more, all largely shaped by feedback from our Explorers. The Explorer bundle costs $1,500 + tax and includes Glass, charger, pouch, mono earbud, and your choice of a shade or a frame for no additional charge.

Has the hardware been improved or are they simply slowly rolling this out?

I hope it has because right now it is pretty unimpressive imo

what makes it unimpressive?

The battery is a major flaw.
