gmail on iPad has got new compose interface
Jun 21st
gmail for iPad has got new compose mail interface in which now instead of splitting the screen between your inbox and the compose view, you get a big full screen compose window with the rest of the background dimmed out so that the rest of the text won’t be distracting. To try out Gmail on the iPad, just go to gmail.com in Safari. Currently the new interface is only available in US English, support for other languages will be added later.

In April 2009, we announced a new version of Gmail for mobile for iOS and Android. Among the improvements was a complete redesign of the web application’s underlying code which allows us to more rapidly develop and release new features that users have been asking for, as explained in our first post. We’d like to introduce The Iterative Web App, a series where we will continue to release features for Gmail for mobile.
I have to say – only iOS (you know what I mean) and android are the only platforms which are getting these cool new updates. How long will Symbian users have to wail to get these kind of updates, or I should ask – Will Symbian ever get these updates?

Alarm clock from the future
Jun 14th
I had trouble on what name I should I give to this blog post, finally I went with alarm clock from the future, I know it is a silly name but the thing I’m showing is anything but silly.
The name of the application is Sleep Blaster, and it has features that seem from the future. Features something that you always dreamed about… well this alarm is going to wake you from that dream.
Some awesome features that sleep blaster has – You just have to yell at it to stop the alarm, you can keep your favorite iTunes playlist as the alarm tone. But if you’re one of those people who need an explosion to wake you up Sleep Blaster has a Dynamite Mode, and you’ll be blasted awake by the sound of an explosion.
Sleep Blaster can put you to sleep too. Not only does it have an iTunes sleep timer, but it can also generate the sound of ocean waves to put you to sleep.
There is also an iPhone app – It uses the GPS of your iPhone and rings the alarm when you reach the particular destination you have marked. Sleep Blaster also lets you draw a line on the map, instead of just a single point so it’ll be more precise. But this might now work at places with low GPS reception… like in a subway.

3D Gaming on N8 – better?
May 13th
I’m sure the video hasn’t been touched or modified in any way, so doesn’t the menu look great, I mean it is better than the S60^1 menu. and the games are working pretty neat. I had tried to run Rally Master on my N97… the game was very slow and unusable and it took 5 minutes to load. You can’t argue that N8 is a definite improvement over Nokia N97.. the current flagship Smartphone.
