"No additional cost for private registration" is badly required in the industry, and glad to see Google take the lead. Also, there should be an option to 301 redirect your blogspot blog to a domain held by Google. Lots of bloggers have outgrown their .blogspot.com blogs.
Actually 1&1 has been offering that free private registration for a while. I switched from GoDaddy a few years ago.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I would far rather deal with Google than GoDaddy or some of the other domain registrants I've dealt with. I realize some people have had poor customer service experiences with Google, but mine have always been OK. Obviously I speak as a consumer, if I were running a business depending on Google services my support needs would be more urgent and my expectations higher.
Try Hover. Customer support is great and there's zero up-selling when buying a domain. It's a couple dollars more than GoDaddy but more than worth it.
So now my domains can be hosted by a company famed for its responsive and transparent customer service!

Hasn't Google's been a registrar for years? You could register a domain for $10 as part of signing up for Apps at least 2 or 3 years ago. I guess the new part is they're offering it standalone? Seems like a lead gen effort for AdWords/AdSense more than a serious product.
That offering was just a referral/signup for Godaddy and enom.
The other best part is we match the pricing of a Google Apps for Business account and offer a 15 day free trial with no credit card required.

Invite-only beta.... watch the hype fade away in a week and everyone will forget this exists (hello Google+)

I assume that is where Google Apps comes in.
