Google News Gets a Facelift
Today @ PC World —
... this morning when I noticed Google has given its interface a much-needed overhaul. Google has not mentioned the new interface on either its official Google Blog , where the company often announces new Google features and services, or in a press release.

Announcing Google Maps Navigation for Android 2.0
Google Mobile Blog —
(cross-posted on the Official Google Blog) Since 2005, millions of people have relied on Google Maps for mobile to get directions on the go. However, there's always been one problem: Once you're behind the wheel, a list of driving directions just isn't that easy to use. It doesn't tell you when your turn is coming up. And if you miss a turn? Forget it, you're on your own. Today we're excited to announce the next step for Google Maps for mobile: Google Maps Navigation (Beta) for Android 2.0 devices. ...
Google Music Search is here! Sort of.
Inspect-a-Gadget —
... The Official Google Blog has announced Google Music Search, in a clear attempt to grab some of the online audio pie that iTunes and Spotify are so gleefully scoffing. Early, snarky rumours about the service linked Google with iLike - Facebook's default music application. With only a handful of tracks available from each artist in its vast catalogue of commercial and unsigned bands, the iLike service has always seemed more like a promotional app than a useful music finding tool - and the prevailing commentary reflected ...

Today it's taking another big step — we're happy to announce that Google search by voice is available for Nokia S60 phones, and now understands Mandarin Chinese. Nokia S60 phones are popular around the world. If ...

... Embedded Video Clip
Dawwwwwwww. There are a few more clips at the official Search Stories channel on YouTube. The videos reminded me of just how much we’ve come to depend on Google and the Internet for all sorts of things, from the simple to the complicated ones, that when we want answers there’s a good chance that we’ll immediately tell ourselves, “I’ll just google it.” It’s a funny (and scary) thought.
