Google Glass Explorer program waiting list quietly goes live

Google Glass is slowly coming within reach of members of the general populace who aren't developers, celebrities, or elite early adopters.

This week, as Google rolled out a Glass software update that adds a new command for listening to music, the company also quietly put a new form online that allows anyone to add themselves to a waiting list for the Glass Explorer program. The Explorer program so far has allowed certain developers, contest winners, and VIPs the privilege of paying $1,500 for a beta version of the hardware. Last month, existing Explorers were given the ability to invite three friends to purchase their own set of Glass.
