Google Glass has announced the Glass Explorer Edition is up for sale in the U.S. at $1,500. Until supply lasts, anyone can have his own pair of this smart gadget.

According to the post in Google+ from Google Glass, the company tries out new ways to find Explorers. The post read, "We learned a lot when we opened our site a few weeks ago, so we've decided to move to a more open beta. We're still in the Explorer Program while we continue to improve our hardware and software, but starting today anyone in the US can buy the Glass Explorer Edition, as long as we have it on hand:google.com/glass."

This announcement is a giant leap from the limited rollout that the company conducted on April 15. For the limited one-day availability, consumers who bought the gadgets were asked to sign up to become part of the Explorer program for early testers. The new program that Google Glass launched was still considered as part of the Explorer program. As the company moves toward more open beta, it will offer the open purchasing option prior to the full-blown market release.

"We're ready to keep meeting new Explorers, and we can't wait to hear all your experiences and feedback to continue to make Glass even better, ahead of our wider consumer release," Google Glass said.
