Google Prediction

Wireless Google device (but not a cell phone)

Check out the things that already exist. Amazon Kindle, Barnes&Noble Nook, Peek.

They run over existing wireless networks. The e-books don’t have a monthly fee to access it, Peek is $20/month or $300 for lifetime service. The e-books download over the wireless signal, and the Peek gives you unlimited email service on up to 5 accounts.

So, here’s the thought. Google releases a device that allows connection to Gmail & Google Voice only. Not to make calls, but to check emails, text messages, and voicemails. I could see there being a market for that. I’m someone that would consider it. I really don’t use voice services much, most of my communication is text, email, twitter, etc. It would also be something marketable to parents of tweens. It would be a very affordable device for send text messages, somethings for which today’s youth are infamous.

Oh, and the Nook already runs on Google’s Android OS. So this could very well be something in their future.

Thoughts? Would you consider one?
