Google Inc., owner of the world’s most popular search engine, plans to wind down the website where it let users explore early product prototypes to help better prioritize development of new services.

Some Google Labs experiments will end and others will be incorporated into different products, Bill Coughran, senior vice president for research and systems infrastructure, said in a blog post on the company’s site. Many of the Labs products that are applications for the mobile Android software will continue to be available, he said.
