Want To Create An Idea For A Google Glass App? Win A Google Play Voucher?

Well, our regular readers will know that I don’t sit still for long – once I’m released from my desk – I ‘fly’ and next Thursday (April 24, 2014) will be no exception to my little ‘diversions’. I will be trialing Google Glass at their HQ in London and Virgin Media have asked me to discuss and ideally come up with some ideas for apps that they could develop for it. After chatting with VM we thought, we’d throw this out there to our readership – do you have some ideas? If so, use the following hashtags on Twitter #IfIHadGlass @VMLoves @theappwhisperer – and the originator of the best idea will win a $80/£50 or currency equivalent, Google Play voucher.

So, let’s see your ideas and don’t forget to check back here next week and you can see what I got up to…
