Google has relesed support for IMAP for its Gmail account, which means that you can use your Outlook or Thunderbird or even your iPhone or Blackberry for checking your Gmails.

Google feels that using IMAP would be better over POP. This is what is posted at the google’s help centre :-

Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client(s). This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a ‘work’ folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a ‘work’ label on that email).

In addition, IMAP provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.

Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through its two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

Now for those who wanna get started right now, you need to enable IMAP  in your Gmail account. Once enabled you need to configure your client(your device or software). A demo video is also posted on YouTube.

Roumers about the internet giant Google coming out with a smartphone a.k.a. Gphone seems coming true. According to sources, Google IS putting its legs in the mobile OS market. Gear up Symbian and Microsoft, Google has got the talents and resources to establish its presence.

Well, as all of us know Google is not a hardware oriented company and is neither interested in manufacturing the device. Information floating on the internet hints about Google working with a Taiwanese handset manufacturer HTC to produce a phone with a Google-approved OS.

OS, as it comes now, well Google won’t be that stupid to reinvent the wheel, rather it would take advantage of the Open Source powered Linux OS.

Google already has a host of applications ready which would easily increase its hardware’s worth. Goggle maps are the one getting the max hits. In the age of Wireless networking, Google is well prepared. Google docs, blogs etc, would be available through the smartphone, which would make it the numero one choice, and yeah not to forget the mamoth Google search

One thing that Google should take care of is the pricing, ofcourse people won’t worry about it when it comes to a good product, but an inital offer like the 20/10$ rebate on Google checkout would lure many not so interested people also in.

Great going Google!!!

I believe most of the readers would have heard about Google-Ads and Google-Adsense, which displays text based ads based on the neighbouring article and texts.

But sometimes thing could go worse. It could even display ads that does not make any sense to the neighbouring article/text. I guess its high time that Google should check their Adsense program and “add some SENSE to it“.

If you are still confused, then do check the image below. Everything is self explanatory.
