Google PC? Who knows…

January 4, 2006 |

Dan Faber of ZNet has some good observations about the rumored Google PC. I am not sure it will happen. I can’t see Google getting into the hardware business. However, there are even rumors about possible hardware providers (courtesy of eWeek), so who knows…

From Dan Faber:

Google co-founder Larry Page is delivering a keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Friday afternoon PST (we’ll have all the details and video clips from his talk), and according to the LA Times story, he will either reveal the so-called Google PC or announce an agreement with a major retailer to sell such a system.

An Internet appliance is not the only candidate for a Google hardware debut. Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Watch wraps up some of the speculation, including the notion of a Google Cube from a Bear Stearns report, via a Robert X. Cringely post about a consumer hardware device that lets users digital media between various devices, simplifying the consumption of video, music and even telephony services.

Google isn’t talking and Wal-Mart cites the reports as rumors. Perhaps we’ll find out more on Friday…
