Plus there is the lovely google mobile updater app. Which let's you know when one of the google programs has a new version available. I'm just mentioning this from your comment it sounded like you wanted apps on the berry rather than online "sites" to visit. Hope this helps!

No BES, No Sync with Outlook and the Tasks feature on Gmail is Killer. There is a term from the "wild and woolly" web days: Every website was focused on being "sticky." Well Google and it's ties with My Blackberry have officially made Gmail my only Destination on the Web. I am in total Agreement with the first comment above.

For me I don't have those. I've often wished I did because you can't mark read all the feeds within a tag on the mobile version as you can on the desktop, only the items displayed on the page can be marked read.

G reader isn't the prettiest on BB, but if you already use it on your computer it is handy to get it on your BB as well. Ben, do you know of a better RSS client for BB? Personally, I like to minimize the number of different apps I use across devices, hence the love for GReader, even if they could still work on the look of the mobile version Yes, google sync is awesome, BUT the aim of this post was to draw some attention to the ‘less talked about but useful google apps’.

I just visited "m.google.com" click on reader and to my srprise .. it looks completely different than your picture above... you have some nice buttons I only have a plain HTML page :( also I would love to have a Google notes application so I don't have to visit the browser yet again (sometimes I need the notes in areas where T-Mobile doesn;t have coverage -- ex: QFC next to my place ;) that's why I never use m.google.com/notes, but I do use Blackberry Notes (which sync to the company's exchange) .. what I would love would be a sync extension for Blackberry Notes Google Notes. thanks!
