"DREW NOAH: So now I'll talk about the gadgets that fall under the tools category. So, like the news gadgets, they're just there showing you the latest news stories, but these tool gadgets actually do something. For example, ask a Word, add a free English--it's a free English spellchecker sort of like a spellchecker or--let's see what else we got down here--or like a ToDo list. That sounds pretty cool, so I'll add that one. Local gas prices, that's pretty cool. This free iTunes store downloads sounds cool; I'll add that one and Gmail. Definitely if you use Gmail, this would be a cool one to have. Just take a look at the next page, see what else we've got. Search YouTube, so much with search options in here, a word of the day option, a lyrics search, MapQuest, sticky notes, so just gadgets that kind of mostly--that kinda let you do something so, we'll see what these ones we added look like. So that's cool, a little sticky note option, these free iTunes store downloads, its links to all the--everything that's free on iTunes at the moment. This one seems to be broken so go ahead and delete it. But this is cool, your Gmail inbox, it just give you a quick little look at what's new in your Gmail account without actually having to go there so you kind think of--kinda getting an idea of how you can--everything that you use on the web or most everything you can add to your iGoogle homepage and kinda get a quick view of it without having to go to all these different sites. Without having to go to a new site to check the news, you just got top headlines right there. Without having to go to your Gmail account, you've got your inbox right and here and if I click on it, it's going to take me to Gmail. The ToDo list is also a real cool little feature. There's websites out there that all they do is ToDo list so it's nice to have a little ToDo list on your homepage and with all your other gadgets. So those are some of the tools gadgets that you can add in iGoogle."
