Outlook on syncing with Google: Excellent
It seems that Google itself has released a useful little utility that will sync your Microsoft Outlook Calendar with your Google Calendar. No, I don’t think hell has frozen over, but it’s gotta be colder there anyway.
You can read more on the utility over at Google’s “Calendar Help Center“. Or you can skip [...]
Google leveraging their GMail address book
It’s perfectly natural, and something that we’ve wanted for some time. Using the Google login for their online properties was the first step (and not finished mind you), but integrating the GMail address book, and adding basic sharing options is a huge step.

Can’t wait for Google to come out with something like this for Windows Mobile. With Windows Mobile 6 supporting push email from Windows [...]

jkOnTheRun: Impressed with Google Reader
Congratulations to James Kendrick who has moved over to Google Reader from Onfolio. GR is really one of the best-done online feed readers (the best IMHO), with simple easy to remember/use keyboard shortcuts, lightweight AJAX interface that is quick to render, and the ability to mark items for future reference.
Another feature that I’ve been [...]
A Google Phone?
Interesting information that Om Malik has dug up. If this is true, it may turn out to be a very interesting device for the mass market. Google has a history of focusing on simplifying the user interface and making it easier for the average consumer.
I’ll sign up to try a device from Google.
