Yes, for example reader, maps, picasa and gmail have IPv6 enabled as
well. Groups, youtube and orkut don't have IPv6 enabled, it seems.

Funny thing to see is that IPv6 latency is lower than the IPv4 latency:

--- www.l.google.com ping6 statistics ---
54 packets transmitted, 54 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/std-dev = 8.302/9.038/12.639/0.989 ms

--- www.l.google.com ping statistics ---
57 packets transmitted, 57 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 13.780/15.739/35.764/4.055 ms
