Tips: Gmail, most underrated smartphone app?

September 28th, 2008Tips: Gmail, most underrated smartphone app?

Ok, so Gmail may actually be one of the most popular applications for the blackberry or iPhone etc. However, we’d just like to say, for the record, that there is something incredibly awesome about being able to easily search years of email archives from anywhere at any time. What a lifesaver. Ideal for scrounging forgotten phone numbers out of email signatures (tip: search for “name 416″ or whichever area code), or for any other vital tidbits of information anyone might ever have emailed you or vice versa. Almost as lifesaving as crackberry gchat stuck when in a useless meeting or long street car ride (viigo comes in handy here too) or that magical psuedo-gps cell-tower mapping trick. Very handy.

Your indispensibe, most life-saving mobile app? discuss. iPhone flashlight FTW?

I'm using a WiFi-equipped Nokia N82 running Symbian S60, so one of my faves is JoikuSpot, which allows me to turn my phone into a WiFi router that can share my internet connection to my laptop and my iPod Touch at the same time. Only hitch: JoikuSpot seems to disconnect or suddenly fail to respond after some period of time, e.g. 15 minutes, and must be restarted.

Lightsaber, definitely, the lightsaber.

Since you mentioned viigo I'll chime in with Bloglines Mobile -- it works great with Opera Mini and the new beta version uses Skweezer on external links to minimize data throughput.

Gmail along with other mobile Google apps are most certainly awesome and a regular lifesavers, but I must give mention to Last.fm for the iPhone as well, very handy in the car.

I agree on gmail great. I'm surprised their isn't a Gmail app for iPhone. From what I saw of the web interface it didn't seem to great.

I also use the Facebook App and Google Reader alot on BB.

I agree re Gmail, it's awesome. But my favorite, recently discovered, app is rapidly becoming the bluetooth tethered modem capability. I carry my phone everywhere and my laptop almost everywhere. So now I've got the Web almost everywhere. Web browsing on 3G is not bad and it easily fits into my 6GB/month data plan.

Definitely Twitter (I use Twitterberry) and gmail. Weather and google maps as well.

Twitter is a good time killer. So is Tetris on the iphone.
