Mobile Tricks from Google Mobile

By Julian Prokaza on Wednesday, 02 July 2008

The Google Mobile team has posted three new videos on its new Mobile Tricks YouTube channel. Two of which really aren’t worth wasting time on (sorry guys), but the other is definitely worth a look.

It’s an amusing skit by comedy group The Vacationeers (nope, us neither) that explains how to (and how not to) deal with the awkwardness that inevitably arises when someone someone you don’t want to have your phone number asks you for it. Watch the video after the cut.
