It's still under wraps, but we can exclusively give you a sneak peek, and it gives a number of interesting insights into the directions Google is looking in. The service is basically a secure VPN layer for WiFi connections - in other words, a little bit extra privacy for users of increasing increasingly popular WiFi hotspots.
There are a few commercial players in this market already such as HotSpotVPN - Google will certainly ruffle a few feathers if, as usual, their service is free. So far Google haven't made any official announcement regarding the service or it's price tag.
It's still early stages - the service hasn't even been announced on Google labs ( http://labs.google.com ), but doesn't come as too much of a surprise to keep Google watchers - Google has been advertising for engineers with WiFi expertise for quite a while.
