z*******n 发帖数: 1034 | 1 Google sells Glass at a golf tournament, turns players into Explorers

Google Glass may not be permanently available for sale to the general public
, but Mountain View recently promised to find new ways to expand the
Explorer program. The pricey gadget's first stop? The Player's Championship
in Florida, a golf tournament where many participants can easily afford the
device's $1,500 price tag. Despite the prime location, Google still bundled
the eyewear with a free mini-camera that clamps onto a golf club to sweeten
the deal. Sounds like the company's plan worked quite well: according to
Twitter user Richard Ranick, a sales associate claimed sales were much
better than expected. Since Google has vowed to make Explorers not just out
of sports lovers, but also out of optometrists, cooks and travelers, we
might see more Glass booths (after the break) at various events in the
future. |
