Google advised its customers who are rushing to acquire the internet glasses it plans to release to be patient.
"We have to assume it will take some time," said Eric Schmidt, Google's executive director, leaving open the possibility that their launch could be postponed to the new year.
The American team has only begun shipping prototypes of "Google Glass," glasses that are equipped with a camera and microphone and are able to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
“It’s still very early days,” the Google executive noted. “Think of it as an option that Google is doing a lot of testing on until we’re really good at it,” he added.
The Google co-founder announced last February that the glasses would be widely available this year at a price below $1,500.
Regarding Google's extremely ambitious project for the driverless car, Schmidt said that their plan is expected to be ready "in a few years, not decades, and obviously not in a few months," as they are still in the research and development stage.
