Google has finally begun accepting Glass
applications (Glassware) for review to be put up on the MyGlass app
hub. It’s checking these apps for a variety of details, including
privacy, design, and usability. It’s a very different approach than what
Google has done with the Android market, for better or worse. With
something like Google Glass, privacy concerns for both the user and
those around the user are a pretty big deal, so I personally think it’s
better that Google is going to be more hands on with Glass.
To help developers meet these standards,
Google has released a checklist of things developers should be trying to
meet to guarantee their apps get approved. Apps from Sports Yapper,
Fancy, Mashable, Thuuz, and KitchMe are the first five apps to be
approved for users and marks the opening of this process to everyone. If
you’re one of the early adopters of Google Glass, this is some pretty
exciting news. Hopefully it means a consumer release isn’t more than a
few months away.
