do you want a google PC? =\ by guanako on 01-03-2006 at 09:34 PM

some of may  heve read it now but i found this on neowin.net , i wonder where all this is gonna go.
Google will unveil its own low-price personal computer or other device that connects to the Internet. Sources say Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows, which is one reason it would be so cheap — perhaps as little as a couple of hundred dollars.

Bear Stearns analysts speculated in a research report last month that consumers would soon see something called "Google Cubes" — a small hardware box that could allow users to move songs, videos and other digital files between their computers and TV sets. Larry Page, Google's co-founder and president of products, will give a keynote address Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Analysts suspect that Page will use the opportunity either to show off a Google computing device or announce a partnership with a big retailer to sell such a machine.

google tends to make things simple and faster. take less space, memory. it will change the market completly if this is all true.

If it was a very lite and well created operating system with a lot of compatibilities (other than pacman), then I would probably buy one...

Just like I told you, Google has denied the rumors...
