"The most important thing that we do is focus on building a great product for users whenever that might be launched," said a Google spokesperson.

As analyst Zeus Karravala said, this shouldn't be too much of a surprise. It's likely that Google is simply taking the time to make sure they get it right given the loads of hype surrounding Glass.

Right now, a few thousand people are testing an early "Explorer" edition of Google Glass. The gadget costs $1,500, but will likely be much more affordable when it launches to the general public.
