Glass XE12 released: Wink photos, iPhone MyGlass incoming

[jeremy]

Google has released XE12 for Glass, including paving the way for the iPhone MyGlass for iOS app briefly previewed earlier today, with YouTube video sharing, wink-triggered photos, and more. The new firmware, one of the more significant updates to Google’s wearable, also retires the little-loved “Sent Through Glass” signature that was automatically appended to all messages and social posts published from the headset, something Glass Explorers have been requesting for some time.

While text messages get a reprieve, other types of messaging don’t necessary. “Sent Through Glass” will still be added to new emails, for instance.

XE12 builds on the Play Music support added earlier this month with the addition of a new Listen action menu added to the wearable. From there, it’s possible to swipe through playlists – either created on the website or through the Android app – while All Access subscribers will also find their My Stations list and an “I’m Feeling Lucky Radio” option for a random selection.

Media also comes into play with the new YouTube Glassware, which now allows videos to be shared directly to YouTube through Glass. When enabled, three new sharing options are added to the Share menu: Public, Private, and Unlisted.
