Google Gadgets on your Dashboard
28 novembre 2007
Posted by Rose Yao, Google Mac team
A question everyone asked when we
launched
Google Desktop for the Mac was: where are the gadgets? Today, we have an answer: they're in your Dashboard! Now there's a new feature for Google Desktop,
Google Gadgets for the Mac
, which is ready to install. With this launch, we're bringing hundreds of Google Gadgets to the Mac OS X platform. You can take advantage of gadgets to do things like
browse YouTube videos
,
nurture a virtual flower pot,
or
even check your day's agenda
in Dashboard.
Not only that, the new Google Gadgets applications let you add gadgets with one click and interact with them beside your Apple widgets in Dashboard. There's an automatic update to the gadget list each week, so you'll always have something new to look forward to.
Watch the Gadget application in action:
Attention, gadget/widget developers: this launch makes it possible for you to write your gadget once and have it run on a Mac, a PC, and any webpage on the Internet. Learn more about
how to write a cross platform gadget
