R.I.P. Palm

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

Welcome back!
Come on, admit it: we all knew the Pre would not save Palm, didn’t we?

I’m a really really happy user of lots of Google services. I have my own domain linked to Google Apps For Your Domain (GAFYD). I use Google Docs. I’ve been a GMail user before. I put pictures I want to share on Picasa. May contacts are in Google Contacts. Some of my appointments are shared [...]

Posted by Frank Koehntopp as Blogging

There’s a new feature for GMail users, something that some of us may have already been using for a while. They moved the title around a bit so that it’s easier for you to see if you have new unread email when the browser window is minimized, or you’re working in another tab.
