Don't get me wrong - I'm sure Google really will release something.
What I'm getting at is 2 things:
1. Companies that say "The Product Z isn't that much, doesn't bother us, in fact it'll be good for us" - and then rush to produce a copycat (look at all the phones that borrowed heavily from the iPhone interface even tho' the makers said the iPhone wasn't a threat).
2. Journos/bloggers who say "Some guy in a bar told me he has a much greater idea than product Z, and I know it's real 'cos he drew it on the napkin, so I predict product Z FAIL".
I'm using Apple examples 'cos they're current - but the same applies everywhere
