(John G Mabanglo/European Pressphoto Agency)Google's “hardware” push is still really about its software. Google discussed at length their shift towards creating hardware products in their Google Event held October 4. If Google offers nice hardware that really outshine others when it comes to integration with its popular software products — Mail, Maps, etc. In that sense, this hardware push isn’t about Google straying from its software roots, but rather making the right package for them. But if Google can really make good, logical hardware, it stands a better chance than most at upending a hardware market that’s gotten a little stale.
