It seems to me google is just doing web plugins and updating google earth. I haven't seen much real application or changes lately. Except for lucky google.co.kr that gets an awesome google homepage

I always thought google would bring out their own web browser but that thought was destroyed when supposedly they said we have no intent in bringing a google web browser....Lastly then what is all the domain name registrations for haha :P I know companies buy ones they would use in the future possibly, but I want to know www.gbrowser.com...what could it possibly be used for except a browser, Nothing else really comes to mind that can 'browse'..

I've heard rumors of a Google Phone. They've been buying up loads of fiber optic cable and data centers in China, so I really wouldn't be surprised if they got into the VOIP game.

Oh ya I heard that, apparently google is making phones possibly their own phone service...

There's rumors about Google making a networked or internet operating system, but I don't see that happening.

I think its a bit more than a rumor:

As for the phone service I doubt it (at least for now). The second article on the list of article above explains how google is attempting to allow the gPhone transcend service providers, which would be great consider I'd be upset if the gPhone came out and my phone company (at&t) didn't carry them. If they arn't too pricey I'm hoping to get my hands on one of them. I need a replacement for my Razr, I got it when it first came out three years ago.

I disagree with you on that one, I think Google is far less 'evil' than a lot of other major companies out there.
