View Article  Help, I’ve been Well and Truly Googled!

 

Help I've been well and truly Googled! I have come to realise that I seem to be using an awful lot of Google's services, just how many I wasn't really sure. I have now put a list  together of the Google services that I use regularly and I am totally shocked. It seems they have me well and truly in the grasp. 'Course they  are all free right now but how many of these could I survive without if they start charging??!!

I don't use Android on my mobile phone yet but I went to a trade show in London last Friday and one of the HTC sales guys put a new HTC Desire Android mobile phone in my hand. I fell in love instantly, totally and Unequivocally. I WANT ONE!! At last a real IPhone killer, it's beautiful.
