Is this time for real? Is Waze getting acquired?

Personally, I would rather see Google get Waze than Microsoft or Apple. I think Google is the one that will not try subvert it for either pushing the ever-flopping Windows mobile devices or to push Apple’s iPhone. Google will keep it available to all devices. It is an awesome service and one that is so valuable when you are either in highly congested traffic or you’re traveling on a multi-city trip. It’s like having a peak ahead when you are on the go.

I use it in the Dallas / Fort Worth area where I live as I can see when traffic is slowing ahead. Rather than coming up on traffic slowing from 60 to 8 miles per hour, you can see the issue ahead and get to your alternative route before you are truly trapped. Nothing else offers that!

Now, let’s see those headlines. Looks like it is likely to happen. Here are a few of the headlines today and in recent days:
