iPhone, iPod Touch and Windows Mobile Get Push Email
Sep 22nd
Now get email pushed to iPhone and Windows Mobile with Google Sync. Evidently when Google Sync was released without this feature and Google responded to the
Once you’re set up, new messages are normally pushed to your phone within seconds. While this type of speed is pretty awesome, push connections tend to use more power than fetching at intervals, so don’t be surprised if your battery life isn’t quite what it used to be. We’ve done a lot of work to optimize power usage, but if you prefer to save battery life, you can always turn off push in your phone’s settings and fetch mail every 30 or 60 minutes instead.
No doubt many iPhone, Windows Mobile and iPod Touch users will be appreciating this new feature!

Don’t forget that attachment!
Sep 17th
When attaching certain documents to emails I usually start out the email by saying “Attached is the report about….” or whatever and sometimes I dig around to get the file size and exact filename and include that, too. I think its good netiquette to tell people what I’ve sent them, along with the filename and the file size so they can see at-a-glance if they can open the file (e.g. do they have MS Excel?) or if the download of the file will be too long (maybe the recipient is in a rush and using dial-up?).
Just that little distraction means I sometimes forget to attach the document I was so thoughtfully describing. Now Gmail has thought of that. New in Labs: Forgotten attachment detector says:
Many of us have experienced the embarrassment of having sent a message without attaching the file we said we were going to attach. Turn on the Forgotten Attachment Detector in Labs, and you’ll get an alert if you mention attaching a file but forget to do so.
So why are you still reading this? Go ahead and turn your Gmail Forgotten attachment detector on and give it a text drive!
