Unless I'm paying too little attention, I think Google may be looking
at narrowing the functionality of the "appliance" to only a few
applications they believe are in great demand.  It would mirror the
success of the iPod (MP3 über alles) as the "do one thing well"
device.

Apple are unlikely to be getting a destructive number of support calls
from iPod users and that is one issue the Register article seems to be
in disagreement with my impressions.
