Gmail, Gmail Mobile Go Persian (Farsi)
Sep 22nd
Google has released its Gmail and Gmail mobile in Persian today. Or as Google put it:
At Google, we want to make our products universally accessible and useful, and that means providing them for as many people as possible in the language they speak. The Gmail and Google Localization teams have worked together to bring Gmail to people around the world in 53 languages. Today that number grows to 54, because we’re proud to announce that through working with the Persian Initiative Team, we are able to release Persian (Farsi – فارسی), as the newest language available in Gmail. If you or someone you know speaks Persian, they can change the language in Gmail by selecting it on the Gmail settings page, under the language dropdown.

Mobile Multi Sig, Mobile Sig, and Vacation Auto-Respond
Sep 21st
Gmail announced some new stuff for Gmail for mobile today.
Specifically Google’s Dominic Leung, Mobile Software Engineer announced the addition of these Gmail for mobile features…
- Multiple sign-in support
- Mobile-specific signature
- Vacation Auto-Responder
Multiple Sign-In Support
So, first the addition of multiple sign-in support. You’ve been able to do that on the desktop for a while now (more info & warnings), but now you can also sign in to multiple accounts in the same browser using Gmail for mobile. There was no mention on the post about warnings like the issues the desktop version has offline versions
Mobile-Specific Signature
There are some good reasons to let people you email know you are sending/replying to email on your mobile, for example why your reply is so short, or has typos. Now if Gmail can do something about that “Sent from my BlackBerry” fun that Blackberry (and other mobile users) have to put up with, that would be great. But I digress.
Vacation Auto-Responder
Imagine you’ve prepared everything for a week’s vacation, tidied up your workload at the office, packed all of your vacation gear and you are off toward that relaxing destination in [wherever]. As you drive off, you realize that you forgot to set your vacation autoresponder in your Gmail back at the office. Do you turn around and go back to the office (“Phew! I’m, glad to see you’re not gone yet, we have these last minute details on this important project before you go on vacation.”)? No need, just login to Gmail for mobile and you can now set your vacation auto-response from wherever you can get access – no office visit required!
Photon 4G, The Future of Mobile Computing?
Aug 25th
Back in May the Motorola Atrix 4G caught my attention with its commercials. I think its pretty cool to have a computer that I could put into my pocket and carry around with me, and also use as a phone.
Of course. Motorola approaches it a bit differently. they picture a phone that can also be used as a computer.
Fast forward to today I’m back writing about Motorola 4G phones, but this time its the Motorola Photon 4G. Watching the commercial, which was slightly reminiscent of the Atrix commercial I just kept waiting, and waiting. For what? I kept waiting to hear (or see) how Motorola had improved upon the Atrix 4G with this new 4G phone. However, it seems they’ve gone the other way and instead of taking the Atrix and improving upon its computing features, its more like they removed most of its computing features, except for the WebTop.

Mobile Computing via Smartphone – Your Phone is a Computer!
May 17th
Maybe you’ve dreamed of easier computing? You want a simple way to use your computer at the office, at home, and even on the go. But you don’t really want 3 separate computers with 3 separate hard drives to scan for viruses and update the operating system and the list goes on and on. The answer is simple, and Motorola with a leg up from Android seems to be paving the way … your phone is a computer running Linux (nice and secure).
PHONE AS A COMPUTER
Its a simple idea, really. You currently have to deal with a clunky desktop computer that becomes out-of-date and eventually needs to be scrapped. You face the same with your favorite laptop that will also become aged and need to be replaced. A better alternative would be finding a great monitor, keyboard and mouse and replacing the computer with a dockable “cell phone as computer”. Just plug the phone into its dock and you can use your full-size keyboard, mouse, printer and monitor to do your work. Surf, print, use your favorite word processor to write a proposal, update your calendar — most of the things a full-size computer can do now. When its time to leave for work, you grab your “computer”, your smart phone actually, and carry it with you. At your office you plug it into a dock carry on with your software and settings the way you prefer them. Pretty cool idea, huh? There’s more…
PORTABLE COMPUTING & PORTABLE MEDIA LIBRARY
After work on a bus or in a friend’s car on the way home go home, you pull out your laptop (really a monitor + keyboard + dock), and dock your phone into it … check on weather for tomorrow, plan dinner. With some time left you may log into your Gmail and catch up with personal emails (zero inbox!), then jump into GCalendar and color code events in your calendar for the next couple of days or so.
