What I like about Google is its quest to be a little better every day(even though its a market leader and believe me all market leaders are complacent). The small little things you notice from time to time on their products in bold or red or with a New! superscript are fun to test and play with.
Better still is their labs showcasing products that aren't quite ready for prime time.
A few days back, noticing the spike in news articles on iPhone (thanks to all their PR), I had an idea of writing a small hack in Python to download all news on iPhone that I can then sort and graphically plot (this hack is still WIP and I will eventually do it once I get enough time on hand). The idea came as Google trends reports the events a little dated.
Here is Google experimental, that has solved my problem to some extent.
Go Play!
Edit: Chanced upon this article on iPhone lust with a few interesting statistics.
