For all of you Gmail and Google Apps users with iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) Google has released their iOS app. Click here to download. Technically, Google released the app 2 weeks ago but immediately pulled it out of the App Store due to bugs. I have played with the app tonight and although it’s [...]

Siri. Your Wish is its Command.

Apple released Siri, a voice activated personal assistant, exclusively on the iPhone 4s. Siri allows you to use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more.

Tei Baishiki — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 06:11:32 +0000

Google has released their URL shortener “g.co” as a full blown feature for Google Maps. We all use Google Maps to send to friends, family, and clients. Likewise, we all receive Google Maps links on a regular basis. We are all used to the long and ugly URL like http://maps.google.com/maps?q=dublin,+ca&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=57.292148,82.353516&vpsrc=0&z=13 but now know and feel [...]
