A new report on Apple Insider states that Microsoft is working on its version of smart glasses which could compete with Google Glass.
The report is based on analyst Brian White’s note to investors where he said that Microsoft is planning to bring a set of Internet-connected glasses to the market next year.
The report adds, White believes that Google Glass will kick off what he sees as a “major push” in wearable electronics by the biggest tech companies.

As far as Google Glass is concerned, the device expected the hit the stores later this year. At a TED Talk, Google co-founder and the man behind the Glass project, Sergey Brin had said that the devices would hit the stores this year. He also promised that the price would be much less than the current $1500 price tag that the developer versions carry.
At the recent SXSW conference in Austin, Google had showed Gmail, Path, EverNote, New York Times apps for Google Glass. More on how the apps work here.
The prototype version of the Glass has Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS and an integrated camera.
