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.

A Month with the Palm Pre

Robert Weiner

Here's what I've ended up with: Contacts: gSyncIt, via Google (my contacts sync to Gmail, then to the Pre). If I added a new contact in Gmail, it sync'd to the Pre, but if I added or deleted a contact on the Pre the change didn't show up in Gmail. Tasks: gSyncIt, via Google. Calendar: Google Calendar Sync. Apps & Tweaks.

Impressions of the Palm Pre

Robert Weiner

I gather that Google can sync notes and tasks, even though they don't exist in Gmail or Google's calendar. I'm using apps or mobile pages for Facebook, YouTube, OpenTable, Google Maps, Twitter, and Yelp. In addition, notes & tasks sync to the CompanionLink app rather than the built-in Palm tools.
