To me, it proves the opposite. That Google actually understands the market better than most others. Heavy, legacy, slow OS's that will invariably fracture or render hardware obsolete in just one or two iterations (ahem, Nokia) shouldn't be tolerated at all anymore.

Regardless, with a browser, they have: docs, calendars, e-mail, chat, voice, file storage, internet, advertising. WebOS went that way, ChromeOS is going that way.

I don't quite think they'll get it right for a few more years, but I welcome this.
