Snap To It: Spectacles go on sale, online
Snap Online Snap, once known as Snapchat, has finally put its Spectacles online. Instead of having to track where the latest Spectacles pop-up store has opened, and call in favors with friends along the coast, people can now hit the internet to grab a pair of the video recording glasses. Snap's Spectacles sell for $130—but online sites like eBay had been selling them for prices north $800. It will take two to four weeks to get your Spectacles once ordered—but that's better than having to either wait hours online, or pay through the nose. Of course now that everyone can get them, the 'cool' factor may fall, and fast.

HoloLens Microsoft may not be feeling any rush to push out a new version of its AR glasses, HoloLens, and may be delaying any updates until 2019 according to a story from Thurrott. The news site says that although a HoloLens 2 had been in the works, there has now been a shift in priorities. There is speculation that without any major competitor in the AR space (like Magic Leap, which still hasn't put out a product) Microsoft doesn't feel any pressure to get a new version on the market.
