Two new Google tools
Sync your Google contacts with Blackberry
http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Now_Sync_Google_Contacts_With_BlackBerry/551-95558-643.html -my only complaint: there's not an option to keep calendar entries "forever" -- Google Sync for Calendar (included as part of this new Sync) continually deleted my appointments -- my colleagues were wondering why I canceled meetings in the middle of the night. My challenges came with trying to sync my Bb with my enterprise server and with Google Sync - I think the phone was having issues trying to figure out what to sync. But my other problem is that old events get deleted (I think 4 months is the longest it will let you keep on the Bb). Google is aware of this issue. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=75095dc91f64c1ea&hl=en
And says that your Google calendar keeps the events, but deletes them from your phone because of "memory issues." Well, my Bb calendar is set to keep appointments forever, and I haven't noticed any space issues... It's helpful to be able to look back or search for past or future events that may be outside of the 4 month or 1 year span...
-but if this doesn't matter, Sync away
Stalk your Friends with Google Latitude
Just in case you don't think people can keep track of you through your Twitter or Facebook updates, let them "see" where you are. Haven't tried this yet, but I'll keep you posted.
**BONUS**
Google Ocean - a plug-in/layer for Google Earth. You have to download the program, but it will have you diving around the world before you know it.
