Google enters the domain registration business ($12)
http://marketingland.com/google-doma...-testing-88558
http://domains.google.com/about/
The Google Domains landing page has links like “Manage my domains” and “Transfer a domain name.” A separate Features page shows what Google is planning for this service:
- $12 domain registrations
- no extra cost for private registrations
- email aliases
- customizable sub-domains
- domain management tools (i.e., CNAME records, etc.)

Let's see:
1) how Google does at phone support (few if any Google products have it) and with the difficulties and customer issues associated with domain registration.
2) how they handle spam and abuse complaints - and if any penalties affect your other Google accounts (Adsense, Gmail...)
3) if they will accept Paypal. (I doubt it)

I'm tempted to give them a try but Google is starting (well is already maybe) making me nervous about having their hands in so many markets. Convenience of everything in one place vs one company in control of everything.

It is by invitation only as of now. You currently need an invitation code to buy or transfer a domain as per the site.

I've phased almost entirely away from all Google services, if one can believe that. They've got their fingers in too much, and I don't like it. :/

This is probably true (see also my but).
Cheaper than godaddy doesnt necessarily mean a lot
I wouldnt call $12 as highly competitive, as you can get the same service already for $9 (which is about 25% less). But as I already said before, the targeted audience might not know or mind.
