At this point resistance is futile so I just try my best to limit the amount of personal information Google knows about me. The updates to my Blackberry are actually pretty useful, eliminating the need for several clicks into Google properties I would likely go to anyway. I would beg for mercy but they would just slap an ad on my screams.
On to the mobile apps…
One interesting new item is a Google Mobile Updater app that updates the various Google properties that now launch standalone from the BB (the majority were already available through the browser.) The items that were new to me today were a unique “Search” icon, an icon for Picasa, and a Google News icon. This must be part of the bigger mobile strategy.
Some new info on the updates and new additions to Google Apps coming in 2008.

newVideoPlayer(“andymbb_gizmodo.flv”, 475, 376);Here’s something I didn’t expect to find when I checked my email this afternoon: a video by Andy Milonakis (of The Andy Milonakis Show fame) showing off his Blackberry Curve “mod” for Gizmodo readers. Thanks Andy! We hope you feel better and don’t develop any sort of dependency on all that Ambien.

Fact : guns from the future belong on your person. And this ray gun wallet is the best way to score pocketable space weapons for at least the next decade years or so. Handmade by sandwiching the geek chic design along with Japanese newspaper clippings between vinyl, the wallet won’t look like a laser-firing galactic dildo, but holding one in public may scare your friends and significant others all the same. Then again, you aren’t trying to look “cool” cool, which is why you’re thinking about laying down $13 for this wallet. [etsy via superpunch]
