## Transcript

A quick glance at tech media and you'll find there's no shortage of obits, gloomy reports, and break up letters for Google Glass. But despite all the naysayers, Google isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet. According to a new report from the Wall Street Journal, Google's planning a new iteration for its techs specs due in 2015. And while we don't know much about the changes just yet, the journal reports Google's planning to swap out Glasses' processor. The company will reportedly replace the current Texas Instruments processor with one from Intel. And if people familiar with the matter are to be believed, the deal is a mutually beneficial.

Official one. Google gets a battery conscious processor and Intel gains more ground in the wearables market. The company was late to the mobile market, as smartphones and tablet makers sidestepped its x86 chips in favor of rival products. Intel's CEO is determined to avoid the same fate in wearable technology. Intel will also help to promote Google Glass as a commercial device, one that could be used by doctors, trainers, and manufacturing companies. Still, does partnering up with Intel really resolve the issue some have Google Glass? Sure, it helps make glass a viable business product, but what about a consumer focused one?

Well, a writer for The Verge suggests a new processor quote could signal a more thorough overhaul of the entire wearable. And since the look of Glass, the aesthetic appeal is the biggest complaint. Maybe Google's next iteration will be more fashionable. And since Intel's really good at making chips, it could help cut down on that consumer unfriendly $ 1500 price tag, it's important to note though that price tag is a bit inflated. A tear down by IHS Technology revealed Google Glass' parts cost the company just over $ 150. And it's also likely Google will slash that $ 1500 price when the company releases a consumer version of Google Glass in 2015.

Team. If nothing else, Google's partnership with Intel signifies its confidence in the device. When we do eventually see a consumer focused version, it'll be one Google is confident will sell
