Google Launches Mobile Mail

Posted by Zonk on from the babble-anywhere dept.

lazy_hp writes "Google has launched mobile phone version of Gmail. The service automatically optimizes the interface for the phone you're using and also 'Lets you reply by call to people whose phone numbers are in your Gmail Contacts list'. Technewsworld has a story on this. From the article: 'Gmail is now a kind of hub for Google ... GoogleTalk and a range of personalized services are all tied in together through Gmail registration. The more registration data collected by Google, the more relevant search results and ads can potentially be.'"

  2. Not WAP? by TheSync · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I can't use m.gmail.com using my Blackberry WAP browser, while Yahoo! mail (from wap.yahoo.com) works great!

    How hard is it, in this day and age, to have a CSS that is WAP-friendly???? If Google would like to hire me, I can have it in a day or two, and you could have wap.gmail.com!

    Try this:

    1. Create a new email account somewhere.
    2. Invite the person at that address to join gmail.
    3. Google has just sold that email address to SPAMMERS.

    No, really try it. I'm f@#!$! pi55ed at Google!!!!!!!!

    I guess they don't consider selling that email address "evil." Or maybe it's not evil because they gave it away to some poor SPAMMER in a third world country?

    [I was going to switch my business, email accounts to Gmail, but first I had to create invite emails. Brand new email addresses (I own my own domain thus can create as many as I want), and the're getting SPAM now.]
