Force.com Checkout – Coming Soon!
Looks like Salesforce.com’s Force.com Checkout is finally debuting later this month, on September 22.

Eons ago (mid-April), the same team that brought you Salesforce for Google AdWords launched Salesforce integration with other business apps in the Google Apps suite: GMail, Google Documents, Google Talk, and Google Calendar.

I’ll be going into more detail later about how to set up each aspect of these apps.
