A few of my favorite apps...

I've always been very pro Blackberry.   I liked the polished, business professional image that came with it.  If you saw someone on a blackberry you knew they were working outside of the office.  It felt important.   At the start of the android craze I abandoned my blackberry image.  At first my Droid swept me off of my feet.  I felt like a step up with its touch screen, wide variety of free apps...   however after a year or so my droid started to crash on me.  I painfully waited through the next few months until I was eligible for an upgrade and I finally made the switch...

I love my iPhone 4 s.  I love how easy it is to use, I love my contacts synchronizing with my gmail account, and my other devices. I love asking Siri to do things for me, I love the millions of apps that are available for download, I love syncing my iPad with my iPhone, I love iCloud and I love my iHome!

GMail Offline : Use with care

Google today graduated its Offline feature for GMail from Google Labs to main product.GMail off line lets user to use GMail when
they are not connected to the Internet.It uses Google Gears technology to store the emails in the user's machine.Its a competitor
to the products like Microsoft Outlook which are used for accessing email in absence of Internet.

But there is twist in the story. When you enable off line mode in GMail it stores emails in your systems and also installs a desktop
shortcut. So if you are in off line and if you click on that shortcut you will be shown page as below

OMG!! It only asks for user name....not mention of password!!!.

It means if your laptop or netbook stolen , thief can access all your off-line messages by just entering your username. Its a serious threat since GMail off line feature holds key in its fore coming Chrome OS.It lacks the password locking facility provided by the products like Outlook.

So think before you enable off-line feature in your account .
