IMAP Gmail Settings
The other great thing about IMAP is you can see and edit all your
online folders that Gmail provides from your desktop and your
mobile device. The downside is these folders really clutter up your
inbox... also I don;t want to see my spam email, that’s why I
have the spam filter in the first place... so the solution comes
with
Google Labs!
Scroll halfway down and look for “Advanced IMAP
Controls” and click enable. Then go to your settings and the
labels tab (or just click
here).
Now you have complete control over what folders are visible when
you access your IMAP email!
Now your iPhone can be much less cluttered, and when you delete emails on the road you won’t have a full inbox when you get home!

Google Chrome
Chrome
is smooth and simple to use. The url bar doubles as a search bar,
the tabs are above everything and out of the way, but they
don’t feel out of place. Bookmarks are imported from Firefox
automatically, including the toolbar bookmarks. My favorite part is
that Google thinks of everything... when you open a new tab the
window shows you your most visited sites in thumbnail form and has
a list on the side of recent sites. How cool is that?

Android Kicks iPhone's Ass!
You will notice a lot of iPhone-like features, which is awesome
because why not use ideas that are already great and work well, but
Android steps it up and takes iPhone features and improves upon
them in a way that makes the device much more fun and easy to
use.

Panoramio
Yet another FREE Google service that is awesome! Panoramio is a great web based service that provides the same service as Flickr's geo tagging, except Google takes it one step farther, you can then see those tagged photos right in Google Earth when you view that area!!! Pretty cool huh?!?!
Here's what the site looks like

Goog 411
What can Google not make better? Honestly, it seems that everything Google does, they just do it best. Goog 411 is a new feature that they just released, it's a voice-based automated phonebook accessible by any phone for absolutely free!
You just say the city and state you want to search in, then say any
business or category. For instance I called and said: Bath, Maine.
Then said Southgate Restaurant, it responded asking me if I wanted
to connect for free. Also I was given the option to get information
about the location sent t me via text message, so for instance just
by saying text message at any time while they are talking about
Southgate, I will sent the name, number, and address of the
location.
If you're in a loud busy environment where you won't be heard
accurately, or if your in class or anywhere else where you don't
want to be loud, you can navigate everything using your keypad. The
service even has smart recognition so if you want to search for
toys you can just enter in "8697" and it will figure out that you
meant toys.
