Re: Google services

["Kevin T. Neely" <ktneely@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's good to know.  I do not (yet) have an N900, so this is something I have been curious about.  I mean, I don't want a Google Maps app for my computer, so I wasn't sure if the fennec browser would be up to the task.  From what you say, it isn't, which is sad, but I guess to be expected.

thanks

onestly... we talk a lot about usability and do you want to compare
accessing Gmail from MicroB or accessing it from a native client?
Have you tried using Google Maps from N900 browser?! It's more usable
from Google Maps for Nokia N73 than from N900 browser....

No micro-browser is enough for Google applications, neither N900 one
nor iPhone nor Android one.... there's need for a native application
to access certain services.
