The New and Improved iGoogle

1 views

Google has rolled out a new version of homepage customizer iGoogle. They
The biggest of those features is the "canvas view" that comes with it, which allows you to view the contents of some gadgets without leaving the iGoogle page. For example with the old version if you want to look at your gmail account from iGoogle, you can see your inbox, but if you click on a message you will be directed to the actual page at Gmail. From what I understand (I'm still awaiting testing for myself) you will now be able to read your messages without leaving the page you're on. They have incorporated this ability with a variety of different iGoogle gadgets:

Update: Well, I'm seeing the left side navigation now, but I'm still expriencing some hiccups with the new iGoogle. I got the canvas view to work on one click, but after that, nothing seems to want to go to it. My Gmail gadget isn't working at all now. I'll give it a little time and see what happens.
