In addition to allowing anyone in US to get a Glass unit, Google is also going to push a new software update to Google Glass later this week. The update will bring KitKat to this wearable device.
“You’ve been asking us when the next round of updates were coming. Well, they’re coming later this week! We know it’s been a little while, but this is a big one and we think it’s well worth the wait,” Google noted in a Google+ post.

The update will include improved battery life, photo bundles, photo replies in Hangouts, voice command sorting, and more. The update will also remove the video call functionality for the time-being.
