Google Glass Explorer Edition Hints At Bone-Conduction Audio
Google Glass Explorer Edition is soon set to release to the chosen few developers who were lucky enough to attend the Google I/O and rich enough to afford it at the hefty price of $1500. Yet the product remains ever so elusive to the consumer's eye keeping rare occasions such as when Sergey Brin wears it whilst commuting on the New York subway.

Sources report that Google Glass has been filed at the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and this would mark the first time that an official diagram has been revealed. Though, it is unclear if this model will end up as the final product, the FCC filings support a 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy technology. Interestingly, an integral "vibrating element" has been noted that would provide audio directly to the user's head, which would explain, if not confirm, the patent application Google filed for a "wearable computing device" with Bone Conduction.
