Has anyone had a good GMail experience on Pocket PC? I’ve got it set up and working with the default mail client in Windows Mobile 5. Send and receive work fine, but the weird thing is that as soon as you open a message in WM5 Mail – the message disappears from the list of email.
This is not how it works with other “standard” POP3 mail accounts, why does GMail behave differently? One thing I have not done yet is to search out for a GMail PPC client. Has anyone use one? How do you work with GMail on your PPC?

Don’t know if I had posted about Clipmarks here yet – I know I had on my old blog. Clipmarks is a neat service that lets you “clip” a section of a web page and archive it to your account on Clipmarks. It also allows you to tag the clip with information useful to you for future reference. You can then search on that information at another time.
The service also allows you to share and save your clips by email or by directly saving a file to your computer. I mainly have been using it for research, where I can later go back and reference the information I’ve found while browsing the web. Its really easy to use, and does require a plug-in for either Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Acording to RIMarkable, Cingular is bringing BlackBerry Connect to the US market with the Nokia 9300! Good news to all non-BlackBerry device users. RIM actually has a version of BlackBerry Connect for Windows Mobile and Palm. With the lawsuit settled, and the release of BB Connect with the Nokia 9300, there may be other versions of the BB Connect software making it to the US market in the near future.

Kind of get the impression that Russell Beattie likes PayPal’s new mobile service. I’ve been waiting for a service like this to finally make it to the US, should be kind of neat. Should be interesting, but I’m a little hesitant to jump right into the service – I’ll probably watch and see what some others think on the experience.
Thanks for the tip Russ!

I’ve become very fond of Box.net in a rather short period of time. It seems like there is tons of data on my systems at home, but as I go through all the bits piled on various hard drives, laptops, removable cards and such, I’m finding that I have very little that I could not recreate (CD/DVD tracks, downloaded installers, etc…). When I look at the bulk of what is really critical that I not loose, it is only a few GBs. So I’ve copied much of it up to my Box.net account. I’ll probably pull the trigger on one of the premium accounts soon as I do have more than 1GB of data to keep.
What I really like about Box.net is that I’ve finally got an off-site, secure repository for my data. I can back up all my web sites to this repository and greatly reduce any concerns that I’ll loose anything on any of the sites. Very handy.
Thanks Box.net!
