Google is about to introduce ... Google computers are super cheap

Lary Page, one of Google's co-founders and product manager, will make a keynote speech at CES 2006 next Friday, and then, one of the most exciting products in history will be "revealed".

Google plans to market a $ 200 computer model, use its own operating system and distribute it through Wal-Mart. All this information will probably be "removed" next Friday.

Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times snatched a "sexy" headline, citing unnamed sources. Earlier, from last month, experts from investment firm Bear Stearn had confirmed that Google was preparing to ship a "box", capable of transmitting all digital media content downloaded from the Internet. Both electronic systems are available in your home, thanks to a wireless or wired connection.

It is rumored that Google is about to launch a separate, simple, streamlined and running computer line with the name Google Cube. To be able to work, this PC needs to be connected to a server - and that's why Google has taken over a series of cable companies over the past year.

This cheap computer will use a brand-new operating system developed by Google, not Windows and not Linux. Do you remember the company 's aggressive programmers' recruitment in recent times? According to the Los Angeles Times, the army is busy building a brand-new operating system for Google Cube and all the applications that come with it.

chances of success

Imagine, Google will release millions of small, cheap, low-cost computers (according to information on the margins of less than $ 200) - which can immediately connect to computers, TVs, sound systems or other devices. Other electronic systems in your home. All existing issues with VoIP or IPTV (Internet TV) will be resolved immediately when you have Google Cube in hand and connect it to the cable network that Google is developing. If the information is accurate, then this will certainly be a revolution.

However, this information also made many people skeptical. In the past, there have been many judgments that Google wants to intervene in the operating system market, but in fact, people do not see any convincing reason to conclude this is a good idea. . Google's key strength is Internet advertising - most of its revenue comes from this source - and the brand of search engines. Whether this brand is strong enough to penetrate other thorns - like computer hardware - is still an open question.

Overthrow Microsoft? Probably, but between releasing a Google operating system and taking down Microsoft still has a very, very long distance, especially in the desktop area. Apple was powerless and Linux did not have many achievements, but both companies have been trying for years.
