Google gets the mini blues

Well, sure not in strength, but in its application. The company, in a bid to diversify its business and enter a new market segment, will begin to sell the Google Mini - an economical-size hardware for corporate-intranet search.

Google "hopes to broaden its search-appliance business to cater to smaller businesses with fewer documents and tighter budgets. The blue box, which plugs into a corporate intranet and searches up to 50,000 documents, will go on sale Thursday at Google.com for about US$5,000."

Well, it appears that everything going for smaller sizes hits this market as well. We have handphones that become tiny, Apple launches a new IPod Mini, so why not Google, do I ask??
