Google Digital Newsstand To Take On Apple's Newspaper Subscription Service
We have known for quite a while that Apple is working on a newspaper subscription service for the iPad. Now, it looks like Google could soon be launching their own product that could take on competition from Apple in the digital subscription space.
A report on the Wall Street Journal claims that Google is working with publishers to launch a new "digital newsstand" that will be aimed at readers on the Android platform.

Yes, only you:1a. mobile phones have been around for ages b. between iphone and android there have been many other makes of touchscreen smartphone - windows mobile 5, 6, nokia n97 symbian, and some others2. writing an operating system for a tablet based computer is nothing new3. between appstore and google *android* market (it's not called google app market), there have been other app markets - like Nokia Ovi store - and online markets are nothing new, I'd say Steam was similar too [ooh, Steam for PC, then Steam for Mac - coming after Microsoft Office for PC, then Microsoft Office for Mac - is there a pattern there?]4. there have been many no-name brands of streaming media box long before apple tv ... actually is that what apple tv is - I've never been able to figure that out - is it like Tivo?5. google has been aggregating news and promoting digitisation of printed content for ages.You're making the mistake of seeing things from a very Apple-centric position.Glad I could be of help. Best Regards. Good day.

Looks like Google is behind Apple in desperation.
