google desktop for mac

Google today released the Mac version of Google Desktop.

Like its Windows counterpart, the Mac version of Google Desktop has a Quick Search Box, indexes and searches multiple file types, including Gmail (is it a file type?), Google Integration and it also saves “cached copy of your files and other items each time you view them”.

Sounds like Spotlight (+ Time Machine), don’t it?

While this release of Google Desktop for Mac doesn’t have the gadget feature, but they will probably included them in the next version to compete with Mac OS X’s homegrown Dashboard.
