In an effort to spread some holiday cheer and perhaps some more Google Mobile use, Google is posting a number of holiday video tips for using the Google Mobile service. For instance, here are a couple of mildly amusing videos of Santa using Google Mobile to figure out how to give himself the Heimlich maneuver after he begins to choke, and finding a locksmith when he can’t gain entrance into someone’s home. For some reason, he’s delivering presents in the middle of the day.

Google Mobile has a whole YouTube channel dedicated to tips, and has given it a makeover for the holidays providing tips that could be helpful specifically during the holiday season. They are also encouraging others to submit their own videos of Google Mobile tips and will share their favorite ones.
Some of their own useful tips include things like:

Google is also of course counting down to 2009 with more Google Mobile tips as previously discussed. In fact, they are doing that with a number of their products.
