It seems a lot of them stay in beta or half-baked. Take Docs for example -- Adobe just kicked G's behind by releasing their online suite. P.S. Do I recall correctly that UPnP limits the file types that could be shared? Or was it DLNA? Eh, I wish Google would actually invest some time/$$$ into the sites/apps that they push out.

Meaning your YouTube and Picasa sign-ins should be the same? @Todd streaming media from my PC to my cell phone over WiFi <i>within</i> my home is of limited value to me.

It's also becoming more unnecessary since newer OS's now feature built-in indexed file searching and widgets.
