Revolutionary Google Glass can not borrow or sell. For those who will try to threaten the company costing $ 1,500 excluding gadget.
Google Glass is a new device combining continuous access to the Internet and Google services with a display right in front of the user – hence the name. This is one of the most anticipated gadgets in the market. It can change the way we use mobile equipment – perhaps replace smartphones and tablets. Glasses will come to market later this year.

It is not clear to me whether the behavior of the company is illegal, because it is the matter of the contract – says the magazine “Wired” Corynne McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
