Phone calls from Gmail
Now you can call any phone right from within Gmail. Dialing a phone number works just like a normal phone—just click "Call phone" at the top of your chat list, and dial a number or enter a contact's name. At the moment, this feature is only for Gmail users in the U.S. Calls to the U.S. and Canada will be free for at least the rest of 2010, and calls to other countries will be billed at our very low rates.

NEW PRODUCTS & UPDATES
New design for Google Translate

Homepage for Realtime Search
Google Realtime Search now has its own homepage, where you'll find tools to help you refine and understand your results. We've added geographic refinements to find updates and news in a region you specify, and a conversations view that makes it easy to follow a discussion on the real-time web. We also added "Updates" content to Google Alerts, making it easier to stay informed about the topics you choose.

Voice Actions for Android
These are a series of spoken commands that let you control your Android phone using your voice. You can send texts, listen to music, browse the web, send email and more—just by speaking into your phone. To use Voice Actions, tap the microphone button on the Google search box on your home screen, or press down for a few seconds on the physical search button on your phone to activate the "Speak Now" screen. Voice Actions are currently available for English speakers in the U.S., and require Froyo (Android 2.2).

MISCELLANY
Earlier this month we shared a handful of stories from people who have used Google in interesting ways that helped them solve a problem large or small. Their stories range from the mundane—finding the manufacturer of a frying pan, or the composer of a song—to the sublime: finding a long-lost love, welcoming a brand-new family member into the world. Enjoy these stories, and if you have a Google story of your own, share it with us by clicking on the second link below.
