Does this mean it's going to Beta or skipping straight to being a fully fledged service? The logo still has the Labs icon in it for me...

GOOG-411 is simply the best 411 ever. And to top it all, its free.
If only G promoted it, it would be a killer app. |

I wish they really clean up this webpage.
http://www.google.com/mobile/
It's confusing and cumbersome to use. Who uses text message to click on a link? |

So how do we notify Google of bugs in the 411 service? I was looking for a business in Sachse, Texas. It's pronounced SACK-see. It kept redirecting me to Houston, and I didn't know the zip code. |

Does GOOG-411 really bring no income to the company? I had assumed that they got paid from the business everytime a call was directed to them through GOOG-411 or something. |

For some reason, Google Reader is stuck in an old version for me. I can't see the search box, there's no offline option (and I do have Google Gears installed), and the logo is still the old version. Does anyone have a clue what's up with me? |

I'm also having problems with Reader/Gears. I do have Gears installed, but Reader persists in telling me I don't. It had been working up until a few days ago, but now I see the original "Offline" link, instead of the arrow icons. I have tried re-installing Gears to no avail.
Is anyone else having this problem? |

This was fixed for me this morning, along with another Reader bug I had. |

Well, guess what? It's now working for me! The only sort-of bug is how the page doesn't load immediately after I go to it; the logo and bar show up first, then "Loading..." pops up a couple seconds later, and then the rest of the screen comes up. |

I find if I access Reader over HTTPS, Gears works fine. However, if using just HTTP, Reader doesn't offer me the option to go offline. Odd. |

The top navigation on Google Reader isn't appearing on my computer. |

>> ... although I’m not seeing any links to these other services yet.
And it's still not showing on mine either. |
