Developers now have something to look forward to this week as Google fast-tracked its month-long promise to start shipping the Google Glass Explorer Edition units.

CNet reports that Google has sent an email to those who are part of the Glass Explorers list informing them that some of the promised units are already ready for shipping.

"We're seeing the first few devices come off the production line right now," said Google's email as quoted by CNet. "We're producing enough for everyone, but only a portion of them are ready today. Therefore, we'll be notifying you in waves."

Whether Google will be shipping them directly to the developers or if there will be an exclusive event remains to be announced, reports The Next Web.

Google Glass Keep: The Killer app for Glass?

The main feature that can make it a viable and important Glass app is the Keep's voice-to-text feature, allowing Glass users to jot down checklists, to-dos, and memos while on the go, or instead of going with the traditional email, reports Google Glass News.

Part of the Keep's features allows you to embed videos and other files. It's the same as taking a tidbit of what you encounter on a daily basis and putting it down on writing, the same way you would jot down on a Post-it so you won't forget what you need to do.
