Google Gmail goes Offline, Microsoft Apps and Retail Stores
Another week is in the books and the following things are pretty sweet and interesting for geeks like me. Let me start with one thing that I haven’t tried but will eventually use on a day to day basis, that is gmail offline. Google announced that they will now provide the service online and offline. This is great for me and the millions of people that use gmail as their main e-mail application.
I really liked MS Outlook but I think Gmail has been a better fit for me just because I can check it from anywhere I am in the world. I also back up my e-mails by using Apples iMail on my Mac. Here is a short video of how Gmail Offline works.
On other geek things this week Microsoft made two announcements on the release of an Apple like Apps store. Read more here.
Microsoft also seems to want to take it to Apple by opening Microsoft Retail Stores across the country. Read the “10 Ways Microsoft’s Retail Stores Will Differ from Apple Stores” article on PCWorld.com.
Well that is all for now…please do come back and read more geek stuff. I will try to keep you posted on some of the latest. Feel free to follow eloymedia on twitter.
