Google Mail App on Blackberry

I am just in the process of trying out the Google Mail app for Blackberry on my Bold as an alternative to bog standard, network provided BIS.

Its not bad and the multiple accounts option is pretty good, but the fact it doesn't render HTML the biggest drawback.

But anyway here is my opinion.

Pro's

• Multiple Accounts handled well
• You can view all your emails, past and present
• You can keep your settings when changing network providers (yet to be proven - watch this space)

Con's

• Doesn't render HTML emails
• Polling time very bad (5/20 minutes)

So the question has to be - which do i prefer? I think I prefer the BIS setup - its time to uninstall I think...or shall I?

UPDATE: I uninstalled the GMail app and went back to normal BIS. Its a lot better...

Google Chrome on Windows 7 64-bit

Well, I am glad to say Google has acknowledged the problem with running Google Chrome under Windows 7 64-bit. I am using one of the recommended fixes --in-process-plugins, which works most of the time.

However, Google says you shouldn't do it, as it disables some security options, making you more vulnerable, as per http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=5111f112bcd233e1&hl=en

So, whats the fix? Well, there isn't one unless you want to try the beta of the latest version, something i am considering, after all i am running a beta of Windows 7!!

Here's the link anyhow.

Blogs, Blogs Blogs

What is the fascination with multiple blogs. I am getting used to Twitter, and i think Facebook is starting to lose its appeal. I think i could get used to blogging, but don't find much to write - any clues???

More Email Addresses....

Its amazing how many email addresses you can get these days - just signed up for a ymail account - and thought you could migrate from a yahoo account. You may be able to but its very hard to find in the help.
