not quite like google maps' traffic layer on android/iphone, but yes there is traffic info. the navigation recommends alternate routes that you can preview & accept, or ignore at times traffic gets heavy

No, it doesn't. And that fact means you cannot install google maps, google drive, google hangouts, etc. Just the apps from Amazon and other external app stores.

Yes, it has Google Play, along with other google applications such as Maps, Lattitude, Places, etc... Though it might be hidden. To unhide it uncheck the "Hidden google application" under {} Developer options in Settings...

It comes with the Google Android Marketplace out of the box, though some of the applications seem to be missing from it. 90% of what I was looking for though is there, and available both free and/or paid versions.

All Google services are available on the phone. As soon as I signed in with my email adress, all my contacts, my calendar and even the apps I downloaded or I purchased were transfered from my old smartphone to the new one.

The GLO provides gps services that any app (using location services) can use. I have used it with Navigon, Gaia gps, google maps, pocket earth, and Geosphere.

They'll make money from advertisements. Like Android it is another way for Google to track everything you do and everywhere you go. More juicy data to use to sell advertising to more companies.
