According to the Download Squad Google’s Gmail has just integrated IMAP. This in conjunction with the recent storage space is the second big thing for google in the mail arena in recent days. I applaud them for this move as the POP3 access they previously offered was great for desktop PC’s but difficult for mobile devices. I can confirm that it appears to be only in select accounts, because as of now, I still only have POP access.

I was logged into Gmail today and noticed it states You are currently using 92 MB (2%) of your 4044 MB. This is close to a doubling of the email capacity for normal accounts. I’m not sure if this applies to all users, or gets applied progressively, but it is a fantastic number to see at the bottom of your inbox. In comparison, Windows live (aka hotmail) offers 1GB to their users, albeit in the form of a “Skydrive“.

I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 recently, but it stuffed up my feed. By default it set the feed content to be cut off. This is now fixed, so sorry for any inconvenience. On the whole, wordpress 2.3 seems to work rather well.

Telstra recently upgraded their mobile broadband speeds to give “… typical speeds of 550kbps to 3Mbps, bursting up to 6Mbps in CBD, metro and other areas with our BigPond wireless devices on a Super G Fast plan” While I applaud the expanded infrastructure their pricing makes it useless. Take a look at their business pricing for wireless data: Price per month Data allowance Excess cost per MB $5 5 MB $1.
