The Best Google Glass Apps So Far

Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger... While the Google Glass is still months away from being available for everyone to buy, but apps seem to be pouring.

Some interesting apps have already hit the market and the number is rapidly growing.

Given the device’s tech specs, it might not be a good idea to drown it in apps if you want it to work fast. But that is true for most tech devices, especially those that run on Android.

So, which of the apps that have been released so far seem most appealing?

Well, with a price tag of $1500 (€1140), Google Glass will surely appeal to those who don’t mind spending a lot of money on gadgets.

That means adults that earn well or teenagers who will beg their parents for one on their next birthday, also promising to do all the housework.

To these groups, you can also add people with a lower monthly paycheck that are willing to put aside money to buy the device.

That being said, social networking is such an important component of our daily Internet life that it can’t be ignored.

So far, two third-party apps have been released with this purpose, one for Twitter and one for Facebook.

GlassTweet lets you tweet photographs straight to your account. While Twitter is already testing out its own official app, there hasn’t been any news on that front, so we can limit ourselves to this one.

The app lets users send pictures to a contact called “Tweet,” so it doesn’t get easier than that.

A similar app that lets users post pictures to Facebook has also been launched recently. “Glass to Facebook” goes a step further and even puts together a photo album for you, where all Glass pictures are stored.

Google created another important app that can be great on a daily basis. It comes preinstalled with the Glass and it lets you read your mail.

The Gmail app is absolutely essential to those who depend on their emails for works. It doesn’t even matter if your email account isn’t primarily on Gmail since you can easily set up a link between two addresses and have the emails forwarded to Gmail.

Last but not least is Winky. The app lets you take pictures by winking at it. Sure, it might look awkward to outsiders, it might even feel awkward to do it, but you can’t deny how interesting it is.

Having the ability to take pictures so easily with such a device sounds fun and innovative.

So there you go; a handful of apps that are essential for Google Glass. As more will be released, the list might change.
