Google Pushing New Product Through Bloggers

(MoneyWatch)  Google has been emailing a "small set of expert bloggers," asking if they would be interested in looking at a new product that apparently hasn't yet been announced, according to an email, forwarded to me, from a Google marketing person. The company is offering "a gift package" to ship in the next few weeks, though is giving no indication of what the product is.

I did some checking and the person who sent the email, Susan Taing, seems like a legit Google product marketing manager. She's been associated with Toolbar Labs, a way of letting browser users try experimental features. Some of the new features have included location-based searching with greater accuracy than IP address-based searching by using information on nearby Wi-Fi access points as well as a Chinese toolbar.

I don't have enough information as of this morning to do more than hazard a wild guess, but that would be some product version of one of the beta features. Perhaps a location-based search for Android phones? More details as I can get them.
