How terribly sloppy. Gmail, arguably one of the worlds largest email services is currently using an expired SMTP security certificate.
I’m also not the only one getting this error; Google Groups

Clearly not wanting to be outdone by Microsoft, Google have now added voice search commands to Google Maps Mobile. It is currently only available on 3 Blackberry devices; the 8110, 8120, 8130. If you have one of those phones, and want to take it for a spin, point your mobile browser to m.google.com/maps.

It’s just a neverending week of Sprint news… The news today is that Sprints WiMax network (XOHM) is going to merge with the only other operator with nationwide WiMax intentions (Clearwire). The whole deal will have the financial support and blessing of Comcast, Time Warner and Google…
Apparently the yet to be named/announced consortium has already gathered over $3 Billion in cash which will come in handy when they start actually building this network…
For those that are scratching their heads: WiMax is a so called "4G network". It promises really fast downloads and will be built next to the existing "3G" networks already in place.

Google Maps Mobile
Google Maps Mobile was the first decent online mapping program with satellite imagery (built upon the work of Keyhole), and it was also the first online map program for Windows Mobile. There had been other navigation packages, but they all depended on local storage of the maps and were fairly expensive.
With the advent of more Windows powered phones, Google maps mobile made it possible to download an application under 1Mb, and have access to the entire map database Google had to offer.

Symbian and Blackberry users already got a similar product a few months ago, but now Windows Mobile users can get a version of the the Google mobile search plugin for their phones.
It’s a pretty simple application but according to Google you should be able to get search results up to 40% faster.
The Google mobile search plugin should work on all Windows powered mobile phones (with, or without touch screen).
To download, just point your mobile browser to mobile.google.com and select the second option (search download).
