Google Not Launching PC

David Krane takes the somewhat unusual step of responding to rumors that Google is about to launch a low-cost PC.

Nah, I don’t think so. More wildly speculative predictions about what Google may do in ‘06, perhaps as soon as later this week at CES (!!). Our response (you’ll see this in related articles shortly): we have a number of PC partners who serve their markets exceedingly well and we see no need to enter this market; we would rather partner with great companies.

So David, does this mean that if you don’t deny future rumors, they’ll likely be true?

The Google Cube/Box is real. It is the Visiphone. http://www.viseon.com Compare its features with all the rumors and it is a no-brainer. Add to that the Google SIPhone relationship + SIPhone Viseon relationship + Google entering POD video rentals + launch of payment center + launch of consumer marketplace + there is NO other product that can do all this + this would be consistent with David Krane’s statement regarding partnering = Viseon is the Google Cube/Box! (VSNI.OB) To be unveiled at CeBit 3/9-3/14 in Germany.
