Notify 2 Makes Checking Email On A Mac Easier Than Ever
I tried Notify, a small app that sits at the top of your Mac’s screen waiting to let you know when new mail arrives, briefly when it was initially released. At the time I opted for Google’s own email notifier. Why? Because Notify was rather limited in its functionality and offer few configuration options. Well [...]
Gboard, making G-Mail easier
At Dan’s urging, I recently made the move from Mobile Me to G-Mail. I use multiple computers and using a cloud based e-mail, contact and calendar service just works much better for me now. I was seriously excited when I laid eyes on the Gboard, a G-Mail friendly keyboard add-on. The keyboard, which sells for [...]
Gmail Issues Today
Gmail is once again having some issues. When I woke up, I noticed that all of my new e-mails were indicating that they’d already been read when I checked from my iPhone. The problem was, I haven’t read any of them yet. I e-mailed Larry to ask if Gmail was down for him too, and [...]
Android Users – Back Up Your SMS Messages to Gmail
In talking with people that send text messages (SMS), one of the most frequent things I hear is that they wish they could save some of their SMS messages.

IBM does battle with Google over email costs
Who would’ve thought we’d see IBM positioned as a low cost alternative technology provider. That’s exactly what they appear to be doing — at least on the surface.

PushMail Brings Push Email Notifications That Really Work
GPush worked great when I first purchased and downloaded it. I write “worked” in the past tense because their servers were apparently not ready for the demand placed on them. After a few hours emails stopped pushing and hasn’t been operable since. Now PushMail is bringing the same functionality… with one major difference… it works!
GPush for iPhone brings push Gmail – sorta
I’m going out on a limb and proclaiming it totally crazy that push mail notifications of any type are still news on the iPhone platform. Yet here we are in August 2009 and I’m getting excited that finally there’s an application that provides real time notification when I receive an email in my Gmail account. [...]
