Can google read ajax

[Archers]

Looking to load a one page product view instead of 10 pages of pagination. Does google read ajax and see all 10 pages as 1 page.

Yes-ish. You're going to want to read this:

From what I've read, they're indexing Facebook and Disqus comments on blogs.  On the site I work on, on certain pages we load the main page contents via AJAX, and Google is reading and indexing that content.

I'd be wary of taking the time to put together HTML snapshots, as Google is getting better and better at this.  You could set up a prototype of your AJAX solution and wait and see if Googlebot can index the AJAX loaded content.
