The move is the end of the line for one of the first and most recognized
smart glasses product lines from a tech company.
Google will also stop supporting its software in September, the company
said.

Thx BillK, but I don't understand.  Better devices are in the pipeline but
what if we need something like this now?  Where do we go?  If they don't
support the software, do the old devices still work?  So I could look for
one on eBay and such?  The other products are not here yet ja?  If all I
need is text only, wouldn't the Glass work fine for that?  ChatGPT gives
back only text, so I don't need fancy schmancy anything.
