Gmail now works on mobile devices

Google have finally fixed Gmail and made it accessible on mobile devices. For far too long, smartphone users have been unable to use Gmail due to it’s heavy dependence on browser capabilities. It’s great to know that I now have easy access to all of my email directly from my SonyEricsson P910i, loaded with the mobile version of Opera’s excellent web browser, of course :-)

My only gripe with Opera is that it doesn’t have landscape view. This is so frustrating. It would make internet use so much easier on the small screen!

Speaking of web mail services, Microsoft finally actioned my cancelled Hotmail Plus subscription (which I done nearly a year ago!) and re-instated those horrible big adverts. Thankfully, another awesome FireFox extension promptly solved the problem, and Adblock has become another one of the staple diet of Firefox extensions I can’t live without.

Project Aardvark: 12 weeks with geeks

When I saw that the team behind Copilot (from Fogcreek Software) had created a DVD about their experiences creating copilot, I had to get a copy. The Project Aardvark: 12 weeks with geeks DVD landed on my doorstep this morning, surprisingly quicker than expected, as mail services are usually stretched at this time of the year.

Will try and make time to watch it this weekend. I’m sure it’ll be interesting viewing :-)
