      GTalk needs some serious attention if they want it to be accepted by the public. But that makes me wonder... do they really want it to be accepted by the public? The voice chat feature is the best part of it for me; the quality is superb compared to other clients I've tried. Still, limiting it to Gmail users means that most people I know aren't eligible. And not having rich text, file transfers, and options for conversation logging are a good reason to find another client.

        Maybe Google's recent buy-in of AOL will facilitate some GTalk-AIM integration to consolidate chat services to better combat Yahoo and MSN. Course, I'd rather Google stay out of those wars and make a client that could communicate with all 3 natively, but that's me.

        Google just released the specifications to their audio extensions ("Jingle"), and GAIM is working on integrating it, which means that it's not impossible that it'll find its way into the "plain Jabber" features, at which point no doubt other Jabber clients will start to implement it as well. That sounds likely, at least, and it'll mean you won't have to use Google Talk unless you want to.

        There's no doubt in my mind that Google Talk is to get dramatically more open and more features. I think what they've done so far is dip their toes in the water, and with the release of the Jingle specs and source code (where copyright goes back to 2004 - I don't think they're likely to drop this) they're really saying "OK, let's do this" and getting some very nice leverage from the community in the process.
      • But that makes me wonder... do they really want it to be accepted by the public?

        It's an interesting thought - what if GTalk was simply a beta version - a test platform if you will - for a much larger VOIP rollout later on? Get folks to start chatting VOIP style, see how reliable it is, then incorporate that into all those fun trailor-sized boxes Google will start distributing... Instant phone network for Google.

        In this case it was probably a sensible choice. There are phones out there that only support the XHTML mobile profile [w3.org] or XHTML basic [w3.org], and while they'll attempt to render normal XHTML documents they don't have a "tag-soup" parser available to try to render normal HTML. All of the latest phones have browsers capable of rendering normal pages (Opera with its small screen rendering, for example) but I think Google is also catering to the previous generation where XHTML support was just hacked on top of the WML (WAP markup) support using the existing XML parser.

God knows why, I've had the email account around a year, and the Orkut account around 3 months, but I've rarely used them. I've maybe sent 5 email from Gmail, and used Orkut for around 30 minutes more for curiosity than anything else.

    Anyway, tried to get logged in to Google and couldn't. I've absolutely no idea why they'd decide to bar my account. Emailed the address they gave, had an auto-response back and instructions to reply if that didn't help. Replied I did, and I'm still waiting.

Gmail probably has the best support short of hotmail (Microsoft loves to make sites compatible with Pocket IE) for mobiles, but all of them are far short of usable like the desktop.

    I'm really lost in finding a solution. No mobile web browser can compete with the desktop ones, based mostly on memory and processor limitations. Standards are becoming too hard to catch up with for the mobile end. I'm thinking the only solution is for these web designers to actually test a mobile version on various devices.

    Slashdot looks great on my PDA (I'm on it now). Gmail is getting closer. Even with these two looking decent, they aren't good enough. Why are companies spending money adding new features when the web sites still don't render perfectly? Get the code and interface stable across the mobile platforms and THEN add features.
  • Email-via-web-pages seems a terrible idea of cellphones. My Sony Ericsson T616 does email via IMAP. It works great, the phone has more knowledge about emails and how to display them, it integrates into the phone's contact list, the phone can poll every 5 minutes for mail, and it displays a little icon at the top of the screen showing how many emails you have waiting.

    This is surely The Right Way To Do It. And mobile gmail is an unpleasant compromise for less-able phones.
    • http://www.flurrymail.com/ [flurrymail.com] is another option if the client on your phone is too slow. It's fast and client based, with the option to send alerts to your phone when you have new mail. Works with other e-mail services too. I like that it uses compression to reduce bandwidth costs. It's surprising that better mobile e-mail solutions haven't come along sooner. Why all of a sudden are they popping up everywhere?
    • Yes, but you phone wont read gmail via IMAP because gmail doesnt support it and it wont read it by POP3 because your phone doesnt have SSL.

      The article is about gmail being accessable on mobile phones.
      • Sure, it's about gmail being accessible.

        But let's put it a second way. GMail is a second-rate mail service because it doesn't provide IMAP. This is an ugly hack to fix an ugly problem. It'd be better (ie. more elegant, more powerful, more user-friendly) to upgrade to a real email provider and a phone that does IMAP.
  • Now a days slashdot is posting the news very late. I tried to submit the same news 3 days back and they rejected. I dont know based onw hat critiria they reject the postings?
  • First, let me say that I had been using Gmail Lite (free service) for a few months now. It worked decently on my phone (Sharp 903SH), but I had to log in every time I wanted to use it. I started using http://m.gmail.com/ [gmail.com] and it works like a charm. Extremely fast (even on T-Mobile's $5.99/mo unlimited web plan!), and practical to use (maintains my login). I tend to like products with a small but well thought-out feature set (simplicity leads to fewer problems and inconveniences down the road), but I would li
  • It works great on my Palm T5. The same clean interface you expect from Google and it combines emails into easy to use conversations. I may never use Versamail again.
