Google Updates

A few cool new updates from google:

Google Maps Mobile now has GPS capabilities. This is for mobile phones - I'm not sure if normal google maps could interface with GPS, like say on a laptop and a USB GPS unit... But there are some reports that it can take data from the built-in GPS in some mobile phones.

Google Calendar now has a Mobile Page. This is OK, but we really need a native windows mobile application a la gmail mobile.

If you haven't tried it yet, I'm loving Google 411. A free service, just call 1-800-GOOG-411 and get information (411)-like information - but with more details. I use this on my cell phone hands-free alot, because it's all voice-activated.

New: Stree View on google maps - many of the major cities now have a street-level view, basically a 360degree photo every 10 feet or so.
