Google Glass Can Tether To iPhone Via Bluetooth

Joshua Topolsky from The Verge has written a lengthy report about his experiences using on-face computer Google Glass.

Google Glass is a small computer mounting to an eyeglass frame that has a display visible only to the user. The device includes GPS, a built-in camera, which can record what the wearer sees, and Bluetooth and Wi-FI connections. The wearable device can handle many of the tasks performed on smartphones, including sending text messages, showing weather reports, giving driving directions and more.

Some potential buyers expressed concerns that glasses would be compatible only with Google's Android operating system, but it seems that Glass can tether to any smartphone using Bluetooth. He noted:

“The device gets data through Wi-Fi on its own, or it can tether via Bluetooth to an Android device or iPhone and use its 3G or 4G data while out and about. There’s no cellular radio in Glass, but it does have a GPS chip”.

Google is expected to put the device on sale before the end of this year at the price less than $1,500.
