Google normally doesn’t leak product information beforehand, but surprisingly this time, they’ve released some details over the future plans for Google Apps. Scott Johnston, a Google employee and former VP of JotSpot (yup, the same company which was acquired by Google last year) gave a presentation which hints us that Google will launch a JotSpot based product called Google Sites at some point later next year.
Google Sites will grow upon Google Page Creator and the collaborative tools of JotSpot to allow “business to set up intranets, project management tracking, customer extranets, and any number of custom sites based on multi-user collaboration”. Google Sites will replace Google Page Creator.
Most Google assets will be integrated with Google Gears to enable offline support. This includes Google Docs, Gmail and Google Calendar.
Scott Johnston also acknowledged that GrandCentral will be a part of Google Apps, but it won’t be available shortly.
