Google just launched a new version of its mobile Gmail site for the iPhone, packing a couple of minor tweaks that serve to make the site more pleasant to use. The app seems quicker as a whole, and you'll find that the swiping speed reflects how fast you scroll. And, now, the toolbars stay visible all the time, making the site feel more like a native app. ...

Calling all counterfeiters, identity thieves and extortionists! The pen-makers over at Pilot have recently launched a free Web app that converts your handwriting (or, we suppose, anyone else's) into a typeface. Check out the video demo after the break. It makes the process seem simpler than it really is, but we have to say that, whether you'd use it to compose a thoughtful digital missive or ...

We all actually expected MobileMe, Apple's $99 a year cloud services, to get an update at WWDC. Instead almost the entire event was focused on the iPhone 4 and the newly christened iOS. Then early on Friday, without much warning or fanfare, Apple gave the e-mail portion of the Web-based service a face-lift. The changes are nothing Earth-shattering. The interface is pretty, and has new compact ...

We're not going to write much here because this screenshot says it all. Some outfit called Wonder-Tonic wrote this bit of code called Cageflix to add the epic thespian's entire 49-film-strong oeuvre to your Netflix queue.

It's primarily empty, occasionally ...

Aviary has made a name for itself by offering creative types free, Web-based tools like image editors and color palette generators. Not long ago, it got into the audio editing game with Myna, a simple but functional tool for recording and tweaking sound. Now the company is expanding its music creation lineup with 'Roc,' a basic sequencing app for creating loops. 'Music Creator,' as it's ...

Those of us in the U.S. have been waiting rather impatiently for the arrival of music streaming service Spotify. We were originally told that the top notch music service, which allows you to select what you stream, would hit the states in late 2009. Of course, 2009 has come and gone, and we're already entering spring of 2010 with very little word from the folks at Spotify. Bloomberg News reports ...

Just as it did with Latitude, Google has circumvented Apple's arbitrary and frustratingly restrictive app approval process by releasing Google Voice as a Web app, tailored specifically to mobile devices like the iPhone and WebOS handsets. Everything you'd expect is present: a dial pad, a text message and voicemail inbox, contact search, and even transcripts of your voice messages. Most ...
