I'm looking forward to this- beyond RSS feeds, and a couple of no-brainer widgets, there's not much selection. It's great they fund programs like this and the recently started Google Summer of Code.
eh, i don't think you understand what a grant is.and how do you know that Google will be stealing your ideas whereas other VC's won't? right up their alley? please give me one example of google stealing ideas from independent developers in the past.if you look at google's _actual_ history with things like the summer of code, you'll see that they like to give back to the community as much as they benefit from it. this fosters a better relationship with the development community, including open source developers. it also creates good will and makes innovative developers more likely to apply for work at google. but mostly, this is just an extension of their business ideology which is rooted in how the company was founded in the first place.
