Review
GoogleGet is a synchronization tool for iPods in Windows. The application downloads weather feeds from Google News and weatherroom.com and then sends them to your iPod.
GoogleGet will show a configuration screen the first time you open it. There, you will have to detect your iPod and assign it a drive letter. You will also have to tell the application where you live, since it can't detect it automatically. Now, instead of doing things the easy way, GoogleGet asks you for a 4-letter code of your nearest airport. I don't know and I don't care what those 4 letters for my nearest airport are, but I do know my zip code by heart. I don't think that would have been too hard to get around. Well, after the configuration is done, you simply tell the application what you want it to download.
When you run it, GoogleGet will connect to your iPod, download the news and the weather and format those so that you can view them on your iPod, as if they were podcasts or pictures. The development for GoogleGet has been halted. The author says that since the features this application offers are widely available from Google News, this application isn't needed. I agree. |

- It isn't useful anymore.
- It doesn't do the best job of synchronizing with iPods.
- It asks for a 4 letter airport code instead of a simple zip code.
