A Month with the Palm Pre

I tested PocketMirror, CompanionLink, Go Contacts Sync, gSyncIt, Google Calendar Sync, and Evernote. Here's what I've ended up with: Contacts: gSyncIt, via Google (my contacts sync to Gmail, then to the Pre). Tasks: gSyncIt, via Google. Calendar: Google Calendar Sync. Calendar: Google Calendar Sync.

First impressions of the HTC Rezound smartphone

Robert Weiner

The phone came with Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, Kindle, Weather, YouTube, and lots of navigation and entertainment apps. The phone came with separate apps for Gmail and all other mail. But I was able to set up my Gmail account through the "other" mail app and ignore the Gmail app.
