Google has updated their mobile apps for the iPhone again. The first time wasn’t that bad of an update, and this time is even better. The new UI has a much cleaner and crisp appearance. Additionally you can customize what tabs are displayed (up to three). By default you have GMail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, and of course the main Google page. A more button will give you access to Google Docs, Picasa Web, Blogger, Google Notebook, GOOG-411, and Google Search SMS.
Also, I don’t know if i it’s just the Google stuff or if it is related the the 1.1.3 update, but the new sites are going much, much faster for me.

Not sure how I missed this one considering it’s about two of my favorite services, TiVo and Picasa. Anyway, here it is…
TiVo Series2 and Series3 users can now view their Picasa Web Albums and/or Photobucket images right from their TV. That’s right, no need to buy one of those fancy digital picture frames, just view all of your pictures from the comfort of your couch (or bed). For more information, check out the TiVo website or the Picasa Blog.

In what will hopefully be a long line of applications for the Linux world, Google has released a version of Google Desktop for Linux. While it lacks support for widgets/gadgets, it will index just about everything on your system. OOo docs, man pages, media files, and more.
Good, now I’ll be able to install the PHP documentation and search it rather than having to visit PHP.net every time!
Hopefully we’ll get an update to Picasa in the near future, as well as a Linux version of Google Talk. Yes, I know GTalk is just jabber… it’s the GMail integration that I like most.

I posted earlier talking about Google’s new service, Picasa Web Albums. Since the time I posted that, I’ve managed to get into the test and snag a few screenshots for you to view. You can see them over at TechRelated.com Forums.

It’s been a hot rumor on the net for the past few weeks, and now it has finally materialized. Google’s Picasa photo management software has opened up, for a limited number of people, Picasa Web Albums.
The service, if you can get in, will allow you to host about 1000 images for free. If you run out of room after that, there is the option to upgrade to 6GB of storage for a yearly fee of $25.00. Kind of makes me wonder if that is a direction that GMail will be headed.

Last week my wife discovered some of the tools and features that Google’s photo management application, Picasa, has to offer.
You’ll see exactly what I’m talking about over at her pink blog.

An article posted on DesktopLinux.com says that Linux users may finally be getting some of Google’s toys. The article only hints about Google Talk and Picasa, but I’m wondering when we’ll be seeing Google Desktop Search, and other apps ported over.
This also makes me wonder if Google really is creating the rumored Google Linux distribution. After all, it would be kind of silly to release a distro when your tools aren’t available for it.

Yesterday Microsoft released a program it called, “Microsoft Max“. The new application allows users to manage, arrange, and share digital images.
Personally, I’m glad to see this come out from Microsoft. Maybe it will encourage Google to further enhance their Picasa software. Healthy competition in the marketplace can always be a good thing.

Some buying and selling going on lately…
Not that I really care about either. :p Don’t use Yahoo, Flickr, or Ask.com so I’m not impacted directly. Though maybe with Yahoo buying Flickr, it’ll make Google do more to Picasa.
