Google Sync: Now with push Gmail support

@lotsamystuff - I read that info regarding Palm using Apple's vendor ID on another site. I use a Pre, and there are many other ways to get content to the device. I'd rather use one of the other manners than iTunes, anyway. I would have bought an iPhone if I wanted to use iTunes. In my opinion, Palm needs to stop the games...they were cute, but now they have been officially warned. It's time to take the high road and drop it. --tayme

Pauls weird obsession with Apple continues. This time, tying them to Bing. http://windowsitpro.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=102840&feed=rss&subj=0

@sttevo: "I love it. Paul only digs at Apple fanboys because he knows he'll get a reaction from them. Works every time. Brings this place to life ;)" :-) That is true. Fringe elements like robertsjoe, Ocean, logjamming, etc. are thriving because of this.

""Waethorn", only YOU could interpret "copyrighted content" to mean "credit card information". " Except that they don't call it "copyrighted content". They say that you retain copyright on any content that you post (to which you actually own the copyright), but regardless, you allow them to have free reign on any content you post, despite any copyrights or other rights you may have. And in legal speak, that's anything and everything that you post through their services - including Google Checkout.

OT: lol http://blog.newsweek.com/blogs/techtonicshifts/archive/2009/09/16/64-bit... Mike hotmail has never offered imap. They have offered various connectors, that worked with outlook only then live mail, basically a confusing mess. At some point recently they added contact then calendar support or calendar then contact support and then only with specific apps (Outlook vs Vista mail vs the live download) Crystal clear!

Cringe worthy. Whenever I receive an email from a user on Gmail, or their business offering, it's cringe worthy. It just looks nasty and is harder to read. It's harder to manage and harder to communicate. There is for example, much less integration with many other communications and productivity tools that we and our customers have long regarded as common. Very rich text, universal secure access, continuously sync'd EVERYTHING, presence tokens, secure IM, single click access to many forms of communications, and collaboration, shared everything, screen pops for incoming calls that pull up a contact and map the incoming call and relate it to relevant documents in play... just a lot of stuff that we have taken for granted that only now, so many others are gushing over. I haven't even mentioned policy based management and larger integration and control - regardless of business size. When I look at all of this, I ask how can any person afford not to work as we do - as is possible and within reach of all. There are so many great hosts and none of them scour users' content and then advertise to them - which alone creeps me out. Ok, so Google has sync options. Great. They are not alone and frankly, they're way late to a party that they weren't invited to - my reference to how they tend to use peoples' information for their own gain.

@Mike... http://social.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/ca4f4ac1-c... Microsoft started allowing access to parts of Hotmail via Outlook and WinMO in 2006. It has been a bumpy road to say the least. You still need MS products on both ends and I am not sure you have Exchange like ability (mail, calendar, contact sync).

@ Those of us with Windows Mobile are, once again, saying "What? That's a new feature for you? But we've had that for years!" Ah, you mean touch controls on Windows Mobile 7(look up how Ballmer laughed his ass off at that feature and now introduces it), automated backup (and not that ridiculous shit called Windows Backup or that crap that comes on only 2 versions of Windows Vista), tabbed browsing, meta-data support, Live Preview of open applications, OS that comes with a free Calender (Windows Calender, my ass) and Dictionary and advanced burning tools, moving open files to new locations without any problems, drag and drop nearly everything you like, wake-up time from sleep, font management tools, workflow and automated tasks, Virtual Desktops, Dashboard (oh w8; Windows Sidebar), Media interface in all OS versions (oh w8..Apple only has one and it includes ALL features), DVD player in all OS versions, Stereo Bluetooth A2DP enabled, remote desktop in all OS versions, Parental Controls (what was introduced in Vista was largely available in Tiger: that was April 2005), etc. etc. Like I said earlier on: in the land of the blind. You guys are freaking hilarious.
