My first thought was "this is going to be a spin on dumping another cool product." It's better than that, however. There are a lot of these cool apps from Google that are/were obviously 20% projects but which really showcase Android. "Listen" was one of my favorites for a long time. I wish they would open source that. This is a great solution to deal with something that is a nice showcase product but which is not a core competency / business driver and probably should be sidelined in some regard. Google: please open source the other stagnant, cool apps you have in your product stable. Think of it as releasing the horses back into the wild. Free range your unhealthy apps, big G. Let the apps run away like wild horses over the hills. /bukowski
