- Kevin Lawton submits: There are a lot of rumblings of recent about a possible Google Web Drive GOOG offering.

- PC Makers Likely To Feel Compelled to Build 'Smart Tablets'
- Kevin Lawton submits: Whether or not you believe the rumors of the coming large-form iPod Touch, the larger story is that there's an obvious amount of pent-up demand for such a device. While I'm sure Apple AAPL delivering it would create quite a stir, it's worth noting in the Android...
