The idea is not bad buy is only going to appeal to a limited audience that is will to live in the cloud all the time. Google themselves has created offline versions of many of their apps, so they must be well aware of this. I most definitely think they should be using Android for this. It would make for a focussed effort on one OS as well as developer attention. My guess is they felt Android would be too limited down the road, perhaps because they have more planned for the OS than they are letting on.
