Menage a Me, my Blackberry and Gmail
One of my biggest goals since going online has simply been a good way to handle e-mail that works.
After years of screwing around with different ideas and set ups, my dream just came true.
My little blackberry 8900, my Mac Air, and my Gmail account are finally talking.
Before today I had to delete the e-mail off of my mac, and then off my blackberry again later.
Yesterday, no joke, I finally got around to deleting the e-mails off of my blackberry, there were over 10,000 of them.
Why don’t I use an i-phone? Can’t type on the thing with one hand. Can’t type without looking. Can’t carry back up batteries with me. Breaks when you sit on it or drop it which I do regularly.
Literally took minutes to set up and now my gmail pulls, pushes, does jumping jacks and the whole bit.
Full on stoked that what I expected back in like 1997 is finally possible easily.
So when do I get my waterproof watch phone I expected back in 1995?
Click the little icon below, download it, and you too can delete e-mails off your entire gmail system while waiting in line at Chipotle.
This is really useful information. Nowadays we work with too many different devices and being able to have a unified view on all of them is essential.
ReplyOf course, if you have Google Sync, it will also allow you to keep your contacts and calendars updated between desktop, Google, and Blackberry. Just like Mobile Me would for the iPhone, but you’re not shelling out 99 bucks for it. Free is good…
ReplyTechnology has come a long way.
ReplyI don’t even have something as complex as a blackberry. I think if I were to have a phone that emails too, I would get an iphone though. I have actually heard other phones work better than iphones. Couldn’t tell you which ones, but that’s what I have heard. @Layne: Technology indeed has come a long way. I remember when I was chatting with people using AOL with dial up. Haha.
