And, despite their stock (along with nearly every other firm&#8217;s stock) tanking lately, the Googlelonions are still a smart bunch. On Tuesday, they provide Google Gears for Windows Mobile. This sure looks like a testing ground for preparing people for working with Google&#8217;s Android based phones later this year. Train up those Windows Mobile users so they can defect easily later. Smart. On Wednesday, they provide a tool to sync Google Calendar with Microsoft Outlook. Provide an easy way to move the all important calendar data from Windows to the Googlesphere. Brilliant. Now, we just need a simple mechanism to move Contacts data from Outlook to Google and the road to Android will be nearly finished.

Or, are they too focused on Yahoo!?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one has ever accused the folks at Google of being dumb.
