Good news for all Gmail users..Now you can send 10 GB of file as a Attachments. Few days ago only Google Added this feature.

Google has announced that it will be integrating Google Drive in to Gmail, so that users can send large files up to 10GB. A new button appears in the Gmail compose window to attach files from the Google Drive account, instead attaching the files directly to the message.Normally google drive users are using Dropbox, YousendIt to share huge files.

This is a really amazing feature for those who use Google Drive, but what happens if you share a file with someone who doesn’t have access to it? Google takes care of that too. Just like Gmail warns you about forgetting attachments if it recognizes that you meant to include one, if will also warn you about sending Google Drive files to users who can’t access them, and will prompt you to change the file’s sharing settings accordingly. This is also done without ever leaving Gmail.

Google Preparing New Maps App for iOS Devices

Apple replaced Google's maps app with Apple Maps in iOS 6.Apple's new Maps app has been perhaps the most discussed and most griped about new feature on iOS 6 so far. In addition to the app omitting transit directions, users discovered that mapping imagery included a confusing cluster of broken roads, misplaced clouds and national monuments all out of whack.We already posted Alternatives Maps Apps for Apple Maps in iOS 6.

According to the Wall Street Journal Google is distributing a version of the application to users outside the company before it submits the app for review and acceptance to Apple’s online App Store, which quoted unnamed sources “with direct knowledge of the matter.” A Google mapping app would compete directly with Apple’s own in-house map app, which was released to widespread scorn and derision when it debuted in the fall.

"We believe Google Maps are the most comprehensive, accurate and easy-to-use maps in the world,” said one of Google spokesperson quoted in the report. “Our goal is to make Google Maps available to everyone who wants to use it, regardless of device, browser or operating system."

Google has been putting the finishing touches on the app before submitting it for approval to the Apple iTunes store, but it is not clear when that will happen.

Google in industry's 'defining fight' with Apple:Google Chairman Schmidt

Google Inc Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt expects more than a billion mobile devices around the world to be running its Android software within a year, intensifying a battle with Apple Inc that he called a "defining fight" of the industry.

Schmidt said there were already four times as many Android mobile gadgets - smartphones and tablets made by the likes of Samsung Electronics - and that the scale of the battle between the two firms was unprecedented.
"We've not seen ... competitive fights on this scale," he said during an interview with tech blog AllThingsDigital at New York's 92nd Street Y on Wednesday.

Google and Apple were once close partners, with Schmidt serving on Apple's board during part of his tenure as Google CEO. But the ties between the two have been strained by the rise of Google's Android mobile operating system, now the world's leading platform for smartphones and a direct threat to Apple's lucrative iPhone and iPad businesses.

See also Apple is force to move Google from iOS6: 10 reasons
As competition between the two companies has heated up, Apple has moved to cut its reliance on Google products by dumping YouTube from the new iPhone's pre-loaded selection of apps and replacing Google's mapping software on the iPhone with its own mapping service.

Apple's foray into mapping has not gone smoothly. Apple CEO Tim Cook was forced to issue a public apology earlier this month amid complaints that the product - based on Dutch navigation equipment maker and digital map maker TomTom Navigation's data - contained glaring geographic errors and gaps in information.

"What Apple has learned is that maps are really hard," Schmidt said. "We invested hundreds of millions of dollars in satellite work, airplane work, drive by work, to get the maps accurate."

Schmidt also said he did not expect Google to become a significant player in China any time soon, following its 2010 standoff with the government over Web censorship and cyber-attacks that Google said originated in China.
Google relocated its search engine to Hong Kong in the wake of the episode, allowing Chinese search engine Baidu Inc to widen its lead in China, one of the few markets in the world where Google's search engine is not dominant.
"Baidu will continue to be the Number One player in China for a long time," Schmidt said. He said that he did not expect any mending of ties with the Chinese government, which he said has cut off access to Google's Web services in the past.
