It would seem that Google is trying to mimic Apple’s success in the App Store. By releasing a similar style solution, Google is hoping to attract developers in building addons to it’s line of applications. This could be a viable business, but what attracts user’s to Google’s apps is it’s price: FREE.
Here is Google’s description on the marketplace:
The Google Apps Marketplace offers products and services designed for Google users, including installable apps that integrate directly with Google Apps. Installable apps are easy to use because they include single sign-on, Google’s universal navigation, and some even include features that integrate with your domain’s data.

Google has decided to end its Gears project. Google Gears allows web developers to store information off-line through browser plugins.
I would agree on their idea to shift to standards rather than trying to make the world adopt their technology. We have seen Flash’s attempt to dominate the web design industry, and it failed because of limitations.
Here is an excerpt from their blog:
If you’ve wondered why there haven’t been many Gears releases or posts on the Gears blog lately, it’s because we’ve shifted our effort towards bringing all of the Gears capabilities into web standards like HTML5. We’re not there yet, but we are getting closer. In January we shipped a new version of Google Chrome that natively supports a Database API similar to the Gears database API, workers (both local and shared, equivalent to workers and cross-origin wokers in Gears), and also new APIs like Local Storage and Web Sockets. Other facets of Gears, such as the LocalServer API and Geolocation, are also represented by similar APIs in new standards and will be included in Google Chrome shortly.
