Google maps, Google Docs & Google Book Search

I've had a bit of a play with the various items in Google Docs, but I can't see myself having a lot of use for them. Having said that, I can see that they could be useful if you needed to do something when you were away from home, eg travelling, but I wouldn't use it by choice when I had the full programs available as they are quite basic.

Google Books has kept me enthralled for a couple of hours, although I'm not sure that I'd use it all that much. It's quite fascinating dipping into some of the very old books & getting an idea of the language used & how much it has changed. I could possibly be tempted at times to use it to sample a book to see whether I really want to read it.
