USF1

USF1 has officially announced plans to compete in the 2010 Formula One series. There has been a bit of speculation throughout the interwebs of late regarding this, but nothing official until now. The team will be based in Charlotte, NC and they plan to operate more like a skunk-works than a traditional F1 team. Seems reminiscent of Super Aguri, which saw limited success with a tiny (comparitively) budget.

Of particular note is their intention to be open and accesible to their fans. Traditionally, F1 is a super-secret society, shielding all news and developments from prying eyes. It will be interesting to see just how open they will be.

Google Sync

Google has added Sync! What does this mean, well if you own an iPhone or other compatible device and you have a Gmail account you can now wirelessly and automagically sync your contacts and calendar with your Gmail contacts and Google Calendar. This is a really nice feature which makes the iPhone + Google combination every bit as capable as the BlackBerry and Microsoft Exchange combo. With this latest release from Google, an enterprise is no longer tied to Microsoft Exchange and RIMs Blackberry for enterprise class mobility.
