I suspect the reason people are coming up with scuttlebutt about Google's possible futures is the same as with Apple; people really like the product and want to know what's next. Nobody's speculating madly about what bold innovations the next version of Windows will hold, because there won't be any.
At any rate, Business 2.0 is prognosticating on a possible continent-wide wifi network run by Google, and in a bold display of synergistic paradigm shifting, there's another rumour floating around about Apple and Google getting together for an online version of the iTunes Music store.
