Gmail

 

So Google did push for Gmail... aaaaand... ?

Basically I think that’s great news. At least it’ll benefit all of the Gmail users that don’t use Exchange otherwise.

However – what about those of us that use Gmail for personal mail, and Exchange at work ? (Since you can’t add two Exchange accounts on the same device…)

We’re forced to either not get work mail on our phones and use Gmail, or stay with the Imap option – and then be able to get our work mail still.

It’s not Google’s fault. It’s not Apple’s fault. At least I don’t think so.

It’s the way Exchange Active Sync is designed.

Which is sucky ! Surely there must be a more intelligent way of providing push mail for multiple mail accounts simultaneously, than this ?

Other than that, great going Google ! J

Google Sync Synchronizes Gmail, Contacts and Calendars With Your iPhone

After a little bit of digging around, it appears that Google Sync is my best chance to keep my iPhone contacts and calendars safe. As reluctant as I am to completely rely on Google (I’m a Google hater), I didn’t have many options. Of course I could choose to pay $99/year for MobileMe but I think this service is a terrible joke aiming at making money off Fan Boys. I’d rather go with the free Google Sync alternative…

Hmm. Gotta try that !
