After only ever receiving Google merchandise from either meetings or events, I was unaware that Google had it's own merchandise store. That's what I thought - very unorthadox. as although it helps with increasing their brand equity, it does make me wonder whether it contradicts exclusivity.

Anyway, this post isn't about their online sales, but about a particular product. I have never crossed this or even seen it in fact, but Google have a hardware version of their search engine called Google Mini. Google Mini can search up to 300,000 documents in 220 different file types and supports document-level security so that users only see the content that they are allowed to see, Also there is a new "OneBox for Enterprise" feature that enables users to view search results from a variety of business applications in a one Google interface.

You can pick up Google Mini for £3.5 - one thing I have noticed is that the USPs are under sold on the product page (or not really mentioned at all)... maybe Google needs to look at the e-commerce element to their web offering to help maximise sales. Google - I will glad to help :)
