Google2Go: Unofficial Windows Mobile app for Google services

There are a ton of Google services that are optimized for mobile web browsers, including the company's search page, RSS reader, and email client. But Google has yet to release a response to Yahoo! Go, Yahoo!'s mobile version of its web application web suite. So developer Bryan Burkholder decided to put one together all by his lonesome. He calls it Google2Go.

The application works with pretty much every Google mobile service, including:

Google web, image, and local search
Gmail
Google Calendar
Google Reader
Google Docs
Picasa
Google News
Google Notes

There's also support for Amazon, eBay, Weather.com, Wikipedia, and Dictionary.com. Right now Google2Go requires a Windows Mobile 6 Professional device with a touchscreen, but Burkholder plans to add support for other devices soon.

Good start but program still buggy. Program has memory leaks. And will require a utility, like Memmaid, to recover lost memory.
