And all of these are without me asking for it.. it just pop up on my phone.
But by now I am so used to it I am not sure I want to turn it off.
+1 for Google Now. The location-aware translation and currency conversion widgets are also quite nice.
For those who are concerned about how Google uses your information to personalize the other services in their portfolio, please don't be fooled into thinking that using any of the other free email providers is in any way different in terms of your data being protected or not.
You are getting email service at no cost and your data is being stored on the server of a large internet company. These guys don't just create their profits out of thin air...
