Google Labs Is Closing Down, Putting Some Android Apps At Risk Of Disappearing

In a blog post today, Google announced that they are closing down Google Labs. Labs is a group within Google that develops and makes available prototypes of various applications, many of them for Android. In the blog post Google stated that many of the Lab Android apps will remain in the Android Market, though no specifics have been provided.

The announcement is personally a concern because several of the Android apps that I use every day are from Google Labs.
