Google Desktop: Now with Gadgets

An extensive list of Google Gadgets is already available, and like their Dashboard widget counterparts, can gather data from the Internet, track stocks and weather, display blogs and news feeds, and more.

The updated version of Google Desktop for the Mac with Google Gadget support should be available as a free download some time on Thursday.
