Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved.

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market.
