Access your Google Voice account right from your iPhone.
Receive push notifications for new text or voicemail messages.

This is great news for every Google Voice user except Sean Kovacs, GV Mobile Creator.

The only missing feature that I noticed so far is the ability to login with few different Google Voice Accounts.

If you need to login with more than one account GV Mobile is your way to go.

Just go to google.com on your iOS device and click the “iPhone Apps” tab and search.

Back in 2007 Google launched 1-800-GOOG-411, a voice-powered directory assistance service that connects you quickly to businesses across the U.S. and Canada.

On November 12, 2010, the service will shut down the service.

GOOG-411 was the first speech recognition service from Google and helped provide a foundation for more ambitious services now available on smartphones, such as:

• Voice Search – search Google by speaking instead of typing.
• Voice Input – fill in any text field on Android by speaking instead of typing.
• Voice Actions – control your Android phone with voice commands. For example, you can call any business quickly and easily just by saying its name.

If you logged into Gmail over the last hour (or visited the Gmail homepage), you probably noticed that something looked a bit off: all the vowels are missing. We realize this makes things difficult for all of you who rely on Gmail — whether at home or at work — and we’re incredibly sorry. We take morphological issues like this extremely seriously, so we want to let you all know what happened and what we’re doing about it.

This is a nice April Fool Joke.

I have few different Google Apps accounts and this feature is only available on one of them.

This is great news for iPhone users that wants to stop using Mobile Me but using Google Apps as their email rather than Gmail.

Now you can sync your email, calenders and contacts using Google Apps Exchange Server.

Ok, So Google Buzz is here, a new social network. Do we really need another one?

I’m not sure yet! but so far I like it, I also like to have things integrated, and Google does it best.

Check it out at buzz.google.com or watch the video here:

Cloud OS Glide finally gave a name to its online storage, calling it the “GDrive” And also increased its capacity to 30GB.

It was a rumored for years that Google is about to come out with their own cloud storage called GDrive

But now that Google released their own Cloud Hosting without choosing the Already Branded name GDrive Glide jumped on the name.

Good Call….. Glide

Google Nexus One is out,

The Specs are amazing:

Aug-12-2009 I published a script that start Google Chrome in incognito mode by default.

Since than G’s of readers used my method, and now I’m releasing the perfect Mac Solution for that problem.

Inspired by Craig H from The Web Site Is Down

1st Option:

Download the DMG I Created Here: Google Chrome (Incognito) For Snow Leopard

OR This one (Google Chrome Incognito) For Leopard

2nd Option:

1. Open Apple Script Editor and paste the following code.
Snow Leopard: do shell script "open -a Google\\ Chrome --new --args -incognito"

Leopard: do shell script "/Applications/Google\\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\\ Chrome –incognito"

2. Save & Run

Google DNS is faster then Most if not All other DNS Servers.

Check out the results:

Bottom Line: 9% Faster than UltraDNS

BIG BUT: Google DNS resolves few sites with wrong IP’s.

Users reporting that few sites are not loading using Google DNS, when using nslookup to find out why, Google shows the wrong IP address for the site.

Nice Job Google, but there’s way to go….

via Google Continues Eating the Internet With Google Public DNS – Google public dns – Gizmodo.

CoolGeex Verdict :

I never liked using the ISP’s DNS Server, slow and crashing all the time.

I’m using OpenDNS for a while now, I can also block content using them.

After trying Google DNS Server for 30 Minutes it does look faster, I’ll keep you updated on that.

If you need some extra space for your already big Gmail inbox, or to stash more pictures in Picasa Web Albums, now is the time.

Google just sliced its extra storage prices, offering: 20GB for $5 a Year (Full list of prices in the end of this article)

With this kind of cheap prices you should consider moving your pictures to Picasa.

I just think that it’s another step towards Google Cloud OS.

Prices :

• 20 GB – $5/yr
• 80 GB – $20/yr
• 200 GB – $50/yr
• 400 GB – $100/yr
• 1 TB – $256/yr
• 2 TB – $512/yr
• 4 TB – $1024/yr
• 8 TB – $2048/yr
• 16 TB – $4096/yr

Google promote it as:

… simple … fast … safe … fun … open source

Here is an example code from golang.org

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
  fmt.Printf("Hello, 世界\n")
}

Do you really want a Google Wave Invite but don’t want to pay $$$ on eBay???

I got one for you….

The deal is:

I give you an Invitation and once you get it you’re letting me know, then I will forward you 2 email addresses for you to Invite.

I will also send a notice to the other users saying that you are about to invite them.

All you need to do is to “pay it forward”.

I’m going to give 10 Invites myself and manage the process.  If no one breaks the system 1000′s of people will gain from it.

In the 10th level (2^10) 1024 people will get an Invite, the next level is (2^11) 2048.

After Google Announced about their Exchange Server for iPhone support I decided to give it a try.

First thing was to get my Google Apps Mail Pushed to my phone, It works Great.

My second goal was to use Google to sync my contacts and save $99 a year using Apple Mobile Me.

The sync is good but if you have a picture for a contact or a custom fields (Like iPhone Number) it will not be synced.

So if you decide on doing the switch, remember to be careful and backup your contacts before, you’ll have to adjust your contacts to fit Google Contacts format and delete unnecessary contacts that was added during the years on your Google account.

This is my short experience with Google Exchange Server and the iPhone, let me know about your experience.

Update From Google:

1. Google Exchange only support iPhone 3.x OS and above.

2. The iPhone can synchronize up to 3 email address. Phone number synchronization is limited to 2 Home numbers, 1 Home Fax, 1 Mobile, 1 Pager, 3 Work (one will be labeled ‘Company Main’) and one Work Fax number.

Requirements and Upload

1. Google Sync is only supported on iPhone OS versions 3.0 and above. You can check your current version by going to Settings > General > About > Version. To upgrade, follow the instructions at http://www.apple.com/iphone/softwareupdate/. Please upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0 before setting up Google Sync.

2. Perform a sync with iTunes to ensure that Contacts and Calendars from your iPhone are backed up to your computer.

Getting Started

1. Open the Settings application on your device’s home screen.
2. Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3. Tap Add Account….
4. Select Microsoft Exchange

Enter Account Info

5. In the Email field, enter your full Google Account email address. If you use an @googlemail.com address, you may see an “Unable to verify certificate” warning when you proceed to the next step.
6. Leave the Domain field blank.
7. Enter your full Google Account email address as the Username.
8. Enter your Google Account password as the Password.

10. A new Server field will appear. Enter m.google.com.
11. Press Next at the top of your screen again.

12. Select the Google services you want to sync.

13. Unless you want to delete all the existing Contacts and Calendars on your phone, select the Keep on my iPhone option when prompted. This will also allow you to keep syncing with your computer via iTunes.

If you want to sync only the My Contacts group, you must choose to Delete Existing Contacts during the Google Sync install when prompted. If you choose to keep existing contacts, it will sync the contents of the “All Contacts” group instead.

You’ve set up Google Sync for your iPhone. Synchronization will begin automatically if you have Push enabled on your phone. You can also open the Mail, Calendar or Contacts app and wait a few seconds to start a sync.
