Roughly two weeks ago we at TQ informed our readers that Google has officially made the specs of Glass available and according to them it bears a 5-megapixel camera that can snap pictures and also shoot videos at 720P. To store the images, video and other files, Glass offers 12GB of internal storage capacity. Those who think that they can easily exhaust the capacity should not worry as Google’s cloud will boost data storage capacity up to 16GB. Apart from this Google Glass also offers both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity as well as several other features. However, Google did not reveal any details regarding the processor and the RAM of the head mounted device (HMD) in that release. Therefore, before Friday, April 26th no one had any idea about these two components of the Google Glass, until a developer called +JayLee divulged that reports indicates the Head Mounted Device will incorporate a OMAP 4430 CPU and 682mb of RAM.
However, Lee is not sure whether the OMAP 4430 CPU of Google Glass is Dual Core or not, as he was having problems in finding the exact mhz of the processor. In addition to this, the developer speculated that 682mb of RAM might actually be 1GB, as suggested by some messages. Here is the message that Lee has posted over his Google+ account on Friday to unveil the processor and the RAM of the Glass:
“I’m a geek and it’s still awesome to nerd out on the guts. +Liam McLoughlin (Hexxeh) also found the USB debugging setting and got ADB working (looks like it was broken on my primary machine). Once I got it working I pulled up some details about Glass. Key points are:
– It’s running Android 4.0.4 – Ice Cream Sandwich – just as Larry Page said
– It’s an OMAP 4430 CPU – Dual Core? – Having trouble finding exact mhz
– There’s 682mb of RAM (678052kb reported in /proc/meminfo). Kernel messages lead me to believe it’s actually 1gb but some is being used for other hardware purposes(?)”
Recently a Google patent application shed the light on the future iterations of the Glass, as it is said that the Mountain View-based company has joined hands with a number of designers to make the head mounted device more fashionable. Plus developers are working hard to “gain root access to Glass with Google intern on the Chrome OS team and hacker Liam McLoughlin claiming a “root is easy,”” according to 9to5Google.
