Their Gmail app is really nice.

It really doesn't work well with osnews. gotta try rss feature someday later.
By the way, where can I download gmail java client?Browser: Opera/8.01 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/3.0.5849/1422; en; U; ssr) Fri, 03 Nov 2006 04:22:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (edogawaconan) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?178221 http://osnews.com/thread?178221 Opera Mini works just fine with osnews. It's just that for SOME news items it's enabling its content folding, which is not a desirable action. Other than that, it's just fine.

I think this only works in USA.. the link http://www.google.com/mobile/gmail/ redirects me to http://www.google.com/mobile/index.html .. this is so stupid :'( Fri, 03 Nov 2006 10:46:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (J0Sb31R) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?178302 http://osnews.com/thread?178302 how come they aren't downloadable from the desktop? my carrier doesnt allow dowloads.

Then, select that profile, go here http://www.google.com/mobile/gmail/ and download the JAR file shown in that page. Then, send it via Bluetooth or USB to your phone (except if it's a Samsung, in which case you can't send Java files via BT/USB -- only via the network via a direct link).

wget -U Nokia http://gmail.com/app/v1.0.0/en/gmail-nokia-g.jar

Update: it works as direct link from Firefox too.Edited 2006-11-03 13:41 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 13:40:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Andrej) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?178434 http://osnews.com/thread?178434 After having tried numerous smartphones over the past several years, it's my opinion that none of them is really worthy of everyday use. The screen real estate is too small, content is too difficult to read, the hardware/software is too slow, and the user interfaces are poorly designed and require too many steps. Sure, there are times when you need information and a smartphone is convenient to have; however, I'm betting that it's probably going to be far more useful to a larger number of people to use text-messaging services (ie. GOOGL) to request specific pieces of information than build the kitchen sink into a phone. The advantage of the GOOGL-like approach is that every phone capable of doing text messaging can take advantage of this service. Smartphones are more of a niche market -- and not growing nearly fast enough to justify the hype.

The UI is palmos and is very simple and only takes a few clicks to do most stuff. (loading a website is 2 clicks, enter url, one more click...)

Anyway, I didn't understand why you need to run java app loader from windows? Mon, 06 Nov 2006 15:57:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Andrej) Comments
