      Hi Harith

      I am not sure really. I would guess it will be very soon now that the technology has been developed. It will all depend on whether it is something the companies think will sell well and make lots of money

      Hi Harith,

      I’m not sure I understand exactly what you mean? If you are asking about the use of smart sheets of glass for phones and computers, then personally, I don’t think there will be a great market for it. I don’t know a lot about this field, but I can’t imagine that glass will be better than the other types of plastic screens we have – plastics are much lighter and can be flexible too.

      Or are you asking about Google Glass – the wearable computer? I think there is a version available for testers available now in the USA. And I think they plan to sell it in the UK from early 2014.

      If I’ve misunderstood your question, please let me know in the comments and I’ll have another go at answering! 😉
