Engadget has spotted an application for Google's Project Glass approval from the FCC. It gives us a closer look at the heads-up display and it might mean we aren't far from the release of the Explorer Edition developer units. After all, Google held its first hackathon last weekend in San Francisco, with another scheduled for this weekend in NYC.
In the paperwork, it says the model (called XEB) was first tested by the FCC on November 19, 2012. The application reveals the glasses will have 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0HS, but that per tests, they won't support both at the same time. We're looking through the documents to see what else we can find, but perhaps this means the January 2013 delivery date Google promised back at Google I/O for the test units wasn't actually that far off-base.
