Google has an impressive list of software they have on the desktop. IM client, search engine, desktop search, maps, and a list of various other things including a rumor of a browser... What could they possible do next?

That would actually be kinda cool if instead of ads it were relevant help docs or list of tasks.
MSN Search team, go invent that.
Please

And I come back to you now - at the turn of the tide
Bah, Visual Studio has had relavent help docs next to your code for years! Check out the dynamic help window.

Don't forget the Google Mini...
I'm guessing the next "product" will be a cross between a search engine and something else.
How about a GKeychain? That way I'll never lose my car keys again because I'll just be able to Google for them. Using RFID tech of course. And some type of Google box that sits on my kitchen wall and completely invades my privacy.
Complete with ads, of course, because they are not charging you for anything. -

Yeah, but sometimes some of those "help windows" come up blank in certain Microsoft products. -

The twist would be that whenever you navigate to an application, or click on a certain function, help links would aggregate in the specs or specific task lists would show.

But it wouldnt be would it? You'd wake up in the morning, put on your GSpecs and it'd be;
Compare prices on Bedside Lamps.
Great Deals on Alarm Clock - Shop at EBay and Save!
What I am saying is - dont believe the this is free crap. Its not free. The price is relevant text ads. -

Stop sponging off open source?
Or contribute their internal linux OS changes back to the source tree?
In fact contribute anything back to the linux source tree instead of bitching and moaning about how open source databases are slow and just releasing just the odd library or tool.
Hmm.
Naw.

Come on now, say it with me...
Relevant text Ads!
Find great deals on Linux at Ebay!
Sorry - I seem to be turning in to GTensor. -

Tensor, I said it would be cool only if instead of ads, relevant help documentation came into your goggles. And this would only occur if you're at your computer. -
Buy a small country and allow every to search its inhabitance. Call it Googletopia. Then get very mad when there CEO visits and someone decides to search him.

May be Google OS
(http://www.kottke.org/05/08/googleos-webos)
and/or GoogleNet with Google free Wi-Fi and more localization.

Actually... I'm seeing a lot of PIECES from Google, but I'm not seeing any seriously compelling integration.
That was supposedly a magic key to Microsoft's success, wasn't it? When they realized they could sell Word, Excel, Powerpoint as a SUITE, and the whole was greater than the sum of the parts? Sure you can use Outlook with any old POP3 server, but it works better with Exchange, etc. etc.
The Google sidebar integrates with Google Desktop Search, but I'm not sure it's synergy.
One gets the feeling Google is just coming out with stuff and gluing it all together as an afterthought, rather than having a master plan.
