Google Glass will have its own app store in 2014

Neither deadlines nor details

Confirmation that Google Glass will have its own application store was collected by The New York Times in an article in which the Mountain View-based company admitted that the app store would arrive throughout 2014, when smart glasses were available to "the general public".

For its part, a little over a week ago a googling named Timothy Jordan claimed from his profile on Google+ that the company is working to get application developers to contribute their work to Google Glass and that it can be collected and implemented in a kind of online store or directory. In this regard, Jordan stated that there would be more news in a short space of time.

Unfortunately Google has not provided more information regarding the deadlines for the opening of the store, if it will be part of Google Play or if, on the contrary, it will be an independent and differentiated space.

In this sense, the last redesign undergone in July by the online store of the Internet giant already included support for the Google Glass although since then there have been no more movements in this regard and users could not access the space in question after clicking on the drop-down menu.
