Google Glass KitKat Update Released

Google Glass will go on sale today to the general public in the US, it will be available for one day only in the US, and anyone will be able to purchase the device in the next twenty four hours in the US. This isn’t the best news in the world for the UK, but it means when we get get this chance, it will be to buy an updated piece of tech.

Ahead of this general sale of Glass, Google has released the Android KitKat update, and this brings a range of new features to Google’s wearable device.

Google Glass:

You’ve been asking us when the next round of updates were coming. Well, they’re coming later this week! We know it’s been a little while, but this is a big one and we think it’s well worth the wait. Here’s what you’ll find in the new release:

KitKat for Glass – Our most exciting update is subtle, but big. We’ve been working on a significant upgrade to a new version of the Glass software. It’s not a change you can see, but it brings improved battery life and makes Glass more reliable and easier to update in the future. And now that Glass runs Android KitKat, developers can write Glassware using the latest Android SDK goodness, along with new features from our GDK.

The update brings a range of new features to Google Glass, which include updates to photos, although Google has decided to remove video calls from Glass for now.
