For example the Google Search application on my N95 lets you search by voice, uses GPS to give you locally-relevant search results (I can press the green button and say "pizza" to see what's near), the Google Maps application is fast and simple for the small screen, uses the GPS, updated Google Latitude (for ppl who are into that), etc. I don't think the web-based versions let you do this but maybe it wouldn't be too hard for someone to make a program that submits your search + GPS to google the same way? Gmail from native mail client using IMAP is basically too slow to use, it takes ages to load messages etc. It also doesn't mark messages as read, so when you view your mail on another device they're all showing up as new/unread still. Gmail website is not so well designed for the small screen. Mobile gmail website works fine but it's almost too small. :) _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
