A Google PC?

Is it true? Has Google dipped its toe into the hardware business?  With the recent announcement of the gPC one might think so.

However creators of gPC, Everex, have been careful to point out that gPC is entirely independent from Google.  Interesting comment when the list of applications running on the gPC includes Gmail, Google Docs & Spreadsheets, Google Calendar, Google Product Search, Google Blogger, Google YouTube, Google Maps and Google News.  A closer look reveals the Everex decision to create an affordable PC by taking advantage of Open Source technologies including Linux OS, OpenOffice, Firefox and Google.

With a selling price of $199, well below a comparable system from DELL or HP, and using WalMart as the sole distributor the gPC is sure to get a lot of attention in the next few months.  

Fast on the heals of the gPC launch, Google announced today that mobile phones based on Google software will be available the second half of 2008.
