Google to challenge Apple?

Enter the ‘Google Pack’ (COME ON GUYS SPEND SOME MONEY ON CREATIVE NAMING).

Tomorrow Google will announce a new commercial video download service, according to multiple sources. The service, which will be an addition to Google’s Video Search, will allow users to buy video content for pre-determined prices, and the company is expected to announce partnerships with the likes of CBS and the NBA.

Seems that CBS just wants to get in bed with every Video provider. But the Pack gets better!

In related news Google will also take the wraps off of “Google Pack,” a bundle of applications that will be made available for download in a single installation bundle. Sources tell us that Google pack will feature a Google-tweaked version of Firefox, Adobe Acrobat Reader, antivirus software from Symantec, AdAware, Trillian, and Google’s own offerings, including Google Desktop Search, Picasa, Google Earth, Google Talk, and all of the toolbar action you can shake a stick at. Oh, and I left out one other item: the RealPlayer.

Does this make any sense for them?
