Cool Shit That Might Actually Be Useful

Google is available from your cell phone at www.google.com/xhtml if you are lucky enough to have one of the new cool ones. If you still have one of the old crappy ones you'll have to stick with www.google.com/wml. The xhtml version has image search enabled and automatically shrinks the results to fit your screen. Cool shit. Local search works well, with the same results you'd get if you used a computer. Maps come up, but they are kinda hard to read, hopefully they will improve upon that. What is also pretty cool is the ability to use Gmail from your cell. Right now you can but it's not official, and it's not made by google. If you are interested try it at your own risk: www.gmailwireless.com. I'm pretty sure it's legit, but I couldn't get it to work right now. And don't worry, I changed my password just in case.
