New Delhi: While we are already aware of the key tech specs of the Google Glass, other specs have also started emerging. According to a report from 9to5google.com, developer Jay Lee, who received a developer prototype of Glass - a pair of the Internet-connected glasses that the company is touting as the next breakthrough in mobile computing - has revealed that the device runs Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich.
It also comes powered by a dual-core TI OMAP 4430 processor - the same CPU used in the original Kindle Fire and Droid Razr.
He also discovered that the device has 682MB of usaable RAM; however, he speculates that there is 1GB of RAM in total and some of the RAM is being used for other hardware purposes.
We have already heard other specs straight from Google, including the screen resolution, camera and connectivity. The devices features a high resolution display, which is the equivalent of a 25-inch high definition screen from eight feet away.
The Google Glass has a display with a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. It sports a 5 megapixel camera that can capture 720p videos. Its connectivity options include Wifi - 802.11b/g and Bluetooth. The Glass has 16 GB of total flash storage on-baord, of which 12 GB is usable. It will sync with Google cloud storage, says the company.
It is compatible with any Bluetooth-capable phone. The MyGlass companion app requires Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) or higher. The head-mounted device has adjustable nosepads and durable frame that fits any face. It will come with extra nosepads in two sizes. Google Glass, the US techology giant's revolutionary wearable computer, is still months away from release. Google Glass is supposed to perform many of the same tasks as smartphones, except the spectacles respond to voice commands instead of fingers touching a display screen.
The glasses include a tiny display screen attached to a rim above the right eye and run on Google's Android operating system for mobile devices.
Because no hands are required to operate them, Google Glass is supposed to make it easier for people to take pictures or record video wherever they might be or whatever they might be doing.
