NEW PRODUCTS & UPDATES
Update for Google iPhone apps
A number of updates for the Apple iPhone (including Street View, Google Transit, walking directions, and voice search) are now available. Access transportation schedules for 100+ cities worldwide - New York, Tokyo, Montreal, Zurich, Perth, and more - from your iPhone. And now voice search is integrated into the latest version of the Google Mobile App for iPhone: just hold the phone to your ear and say what you're looking for, and you'll hear Google search results. If you do a local search for something like [pizza], we'll automatically find pizza places near your current location.

Gmail launches themes, voice and video chat
This month we introduced Gmail themes in 50 languages. Similar to iGoogle, these 31 different themes range from options that simply change colors to ones that change based on the time of day or the weather. To customize your inbox, go to the "Themes" tab under "Settings." We also rolled out Gmail voice and video chat for Macs and PCs, supporting 53 languages.

Stay ahead of the flu with Google Flu Trends
You can better prepare for flu season with a new tool that provides up-to-date estimates of flu activity in the U.S. Google Flu Trends uses aggregated Google search data to track flu activity up to two weeks faster than traditional flu surveillance systems. The site also includes flu news articles, a flu shot locator, and lots of information about how we calculate the estimates from aggregated search queries.

Ancient Rome in 3D now in Google Earth
Take a step back in time and explore Ancient Rome in 3D, now available in Google Earth. This layer includes more than 6,700 ancient Roman buildings rebuilt in 3D - and more than 200 placemarks that provide historical information about famous sites. The project originated from "Rome Reborn," an international academic initiative to create a digital model of Rome as it appeared in late antiquity.

MISCELLANY
Crowded airports, unruly security lines, and jammed highways: Yes, here comes the year-end holiday travel season. Thanks to a few search tips and tricks, you can make traveling to and fro a little bit easier. Before you leave the house, you can track flight status information just by entering the airline and flight number into the search box. You can also see delays at a specific airport by typing in the name of the city or three-letter airport code followed by the word "airport." And Google Maps will get you through the alphabet soup of airport codes, too. If you're headed one place but your itinerary indicates you'll be changing planes at an unrecognizable three-letter destination (SJC or DCA, for example), just enter the airport code to find it on the map. We also offer a host of products designed specifically for mobile phones, making it easy to track traffic and weather conditions while you're on the road. We hope tools like these will help de-stress the holidays so you can stay focused on good cheer.
