by on March 30th, 2011 at 9:50 am

This news isn’t Mac-specific, but it’s still quite relevant to Mac users. Evernote, the amazing service that helps you Remember Everything, has been releasing some major make-overs in the design department lately, and their web app is the latest platform to receive some prettification (a real word, I tell you!). …

iPhone Gmail web app updated with new connection bar

by on March 25th, 2011 at 12:55 pm

This isn’t breaking news by any means, but I noticed this little connection bar on my iPhone about a week ago and wondered when Google had implemented it. Then I saw this post on the Gmail blog about it. Basically, Gmail is now even better at letting you know about …

Google Docs to allow editing while on-the-go

by on November 17th, 2010 at 3:36 pm

Don’t get too excited about the example video just yet, but do know that Google plans to roll out creating and editing features in Google Docs for iOS (and Android, of course) over the next few days. They don’t mention the iPhone specifically, but these features will be supported on …

Review: Mailroom for iPhone, manage multiple Gmail accounts in one app

by on March 31st, 2010 at 3:28 pm

[Note: Version 1.3 of Mailroom removed the top bar and made the whole app a heck of a lot more usable for single-account Gmail users. Details here.] Mailroom is an app best suited for Gmail users who make use of multiple accounts on a regular basis. Whereas other apps support …

Google Search improved: now bigger and more accessible [iPhone Optimized Websites]

by on February 12th, 2010 at 3:30 pm

Last night I spotted a small difference in the way that my Google searches were appearing within Safari. It’s not that the results were better, but I could have sworn that the search bar was a little bigger and easier to use. The Official Google Mobile Blog later verified my …

Review: Synotes, a symple notes app with two-way sync [iPhone App Reviews]

by on January 18th, 2010 at 3:37 pm

There are more and more good-looking iPhone apps coming out, and that’s certainly not a complaint. I think it’s actually one of the major advantages of the platform (really sexy apps!), but as more and more of these gorgeous designs hit the App Store, it becomes even more important to …

Gmail web app for iPhone is now 2-3x faster!

by on December 19th, 2009 at 2:02 pm

It’s happened again: I’m trying to use Gmail full time. This time I’m just using the newly optimized Gmail web app (three cheers for HTML5!),  and, as usual, I’m pathetically excited about it. The Google Mobile blog recently announced that they’ve made the Gmail web app 2-3x faster, and it’s …

New iGmail 2.3.1 for iPhone update kills all of the fun [Rant]

by on December 12th, 2009 at 3:56 pm

It’s not very often that I actually get pissed off by app updates, but then iGmail comes along and updates itself to 2.3.1 just so I can hate it. iGmail is a full-screen app that is supposed to make the Gmail web app more convenient to use. It has a …

Gmail for iPhone now auto-expands the text entry box

by on October 26th, 2009 at 11:20 am

You know how I always complained about how writing an email inside of Gmail was so annoying because of the scrolling issue? Yeah, I’m going to shutup about that now. I just read on iClarified that the text boxes will auto-expand as you write more, so that the days of …

I still want my official Gmail native app, please

by on July 26th, 2009 at 3:44 pm

I’ve been having a few small problems with the Mail app as of late. Sometimes it does this crazy little move where it dings as if there’s a new message in my Gmail inbox, shows me said message, then hides it as I tap to view it. I then have …

Gmail Web App: now with swipe to archive

by on June 24th, 2009 at 8:57 pm

I had almost completely forgotten about the archive feature in gmail, but the addition of an easier way to quickly clear my inbox in mobile Safari might just make me a born-again archivist. Ever since Patrick notified me of the feature (via jkontherun) I’ve been using it to clean up …
