Summary

Google are more than about search, that much has been clear for a while.  But Google are more than applications.

Analysis

Seeing new business models is fast becoming a business model in itself, and Googles profit generation, listing, growth and general cache means they have the attractiveness to pick up top talent. Each step is a leap to whats next.

Looking at future technologies, i think Google remain a bargain, they are investing heavily in wireless in all areas, they recognised early that convergence means more than wireline and wireless companies selling services, google maps for mobile is a prime example of leveraging search with LBS and getting a result that advertisers will pay for so that operators make money. Also for developing markets on line applications and application growth show an innovative way to build their brand in regions where the only microsoft apps are copies.
