So when can you get your very own slice of [FONT=Georgia, serif]Google future[/FONT]? Perhaps sooner than you thought. The company's just outlined a competition that will put its Glass device in the hands of [FONT=Georgia, serif]non-developer[/FONT] types. Using Twitter or Google+, you'll need to outline what you would do if you had the device -- we're guessing they want to see some big ideas. Applications need to be less than 50 words and tagged with [FONT=Georgia, serif]#ifihadglass[/FONT]. Media-wise, you can include photos and even a short video to support your application. Alas, for now at least, the process is only for those over 18 and is currently US-only. The deadline is February 27th and winners will be made a Glass Explorer -- quite the title. The best 8,000 applicants will still have to preorder their own Glass Explorer Edition ($1,500 plus tax) but there'll be special pick-up sessions held in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Until then, Google's offered up a whole new gallery of images to help you imagine how you might look with its high-tech wearable.
