According to the Los Angeles Times, Google will announce a low cost PC with some kind of Google OS at CES 2006 this week in Vegas:
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. . .
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.
And that’s not the only Google theory out there. Content producers wonder whether Google’s push into video search will unravel the economics that make Hollywood hum. If viewers can find and legally download an episode of “Seinfeld” through Google, will that cut into cable and network television’s profits?
I’ll be in Las Vegas this week for Internext 2006 (The Academy Awards of Adult) and all the crazy parties that go along with it. I might try to get over to CES for that keynote address, it sounds like things could get pretty interesting.
The next 10 days are going to be crazy for me: after Vegas I’m headed to Brazil; so blogging at SEO Black Hat is going to be hit and miss.
