Google Flipper on the way?

It sounds like Google is getting close to making a service called “Google Flipper” public in Google Labs. The service is still under lock and key — only people from inside the corporate network have access to it.

The service appears to be a new way to view news data — instead of seeing headlines and descriptions, you basically see a screenshot of the actual news article. Check out a screenshot of the new service at TechCrunch.

Personally, I would much rather use Google News at it exists today than something like this. What do you think?
