Note: This project is not currently maintained, and the last builds no longer function correctly with the current versions of the Google services listed below. Bookmarks no longer sync, for example, nor does the full text of Docs. Significant rewriting would be necessary to restore functionality. There are no current plans for a rewrite, but the project is open source, and patches are welcome.
