At Google, we are committed to giving you a consistent user experience across products and devices, and we really value the feedback you’ve given us about Google News for mobile. Today we’re excited to announce a completely new Google News offering for iPhone, Android, and Palm Pre users.

Back in August, Twitter announced that it was getting ready to roll out an ambitious new project: Geolocation. The idea was to be able to attach a location to every tweet. Today, the API for the feature has been officially turned on, but location is not a part of the main site — yet.
This means that applications that have been built using the APIs — such as Birdfeed, which we previewed recently —...

Google released a new Google Labs experiment related to image search: Google Image Swirl. The service “organizes image search results based on their visual and semantic similarities and presents them in an intuitive exploratory interface.” Google Image Swirl clusters the top image search results for...
Google’s Chrome OS project, first announced in July, will become available for download within a week, we’ve heard from a reliable source. Google previously said to expect an early version of the OS in the fall.
What can we expect? Driver support will likely be a weak point. We’ve heard at various times that Google has a legion of engineers working on the not so glamorous task of building...
看了一下，好像只有台北地區有這些資料。
今天在使用 Google 地圖時，發現縮放地圖時好像有點不一樣，原來是建築物加上了透視圖（perspective）！
其它就不多說了， 大家去玩玩看吧 :D
Since the launch of Google Latitude earlier this year, we’ve been getting a lot of feature requests. One of the most popular ideas was for Latitude to keep track of location history, allowing you (but not your friends) to see where you’ve been at any point in time. Another popular idea was to notify you when you’re near your Latitude friends so you can easily meet up or grab...
When you think of Times Square, you think of people – you and me, yellow taxis and lines for the latest shows. How about sitting and chatting with friends and family? Playing games? Checking email? Searching for Broadway show times or dinner reservations?
Yahoo! helps you connect with the people and things that matter most to you – wherever you are, including in Times Square. While Yahoo! is...
Well, the spirit of giving arrived a little early this year! For my birthday last month, Google announced it was partnering to offer free Wi-Fi on all Virgin America flights until January 15th. Great, thanks Google, now I have to check the feeds even while flying at 500MPH. But I guess that just wasn’t enough kindness to satisfy the Goog. They’ve just announced that they’re going...
A little later than previously alluded to, but Navigon’s finally rolling out live traffic update to its MobileNavigator iPhone app. Same prices as mentioned before, it’ll regularly be $24.99, but for the next four weeks, it’s only gonna ring up at $19.99 for lifetime use, no monthly fees. Not that TomTom needed anything else to think about, of course. Full presser after the...
Today we’re excited to announce the launch of new imagery in Street View. Now when you’re daydreaming about exotic vacations (or even planning them!), you can pull up Street View in Google Maps for mobile and explore new locations in Hawaii and Mexico. Hawaii marks the inclusion of all 50 states in the US for Street View coverage. You can check to see where there’s parking by...
A lot of people aren’t that keen on the current look of most Google applications—hence the popularity of redesigned user skins. On the other hand, many users really like the look of Google Wave, the newest invite-only service from Google. (See our first look, or just read the book.) If you happen to be one of the people who love Wave’s look, you’ll like this rumor: According to...
