Seems Google has enabled the canvas view on the iGoogle sandbox for developers. The new sandbox looks rather promising, it includes a new Gmail gadget which lets you read emails from within iGoogle, sadly you can't compose with iGoogle, but the improvements to reading are much appreciated.

You can also use Google Reader from within iGoogle. but through a roundabout way. I had to add a feed to iGoogle, view it in canvas view and then select "All Items" from the drop down.

Could this finally be evidence of the product consolidation Google set as an aim several years back? |
