The Mobile Internet Lifestyle

(This post began as a reply to a comment question on my previous blog post about iPhone 3G. It’s also a complete re-write of an earlier post.)
My experience with the Internet on my Nokia N82 has been more than satisfying, but that might well be a result of my usage pattern. Your mileage may vary. And yes, my ideal internet-access device would be iPhone, but I’ve already written about why iPhone is a no-no for me.

So my Thinkpad’s hard disk (a standard Hitachi 2.5″ 4200 RPM 80GB HDD) died Saturday evening. It began making ghastly noises all of a sudden, signaling imminent mechanical failure. I shut down the computer immediately, and on restarting, a BSOD informed me my boot volume was un-mountable.

Gmail and managing clutter
Filed Under Email, Gmail, Insights, LotusNotes, Thunderbird | 6 Comments
It’s official - Gmail’s conversation view is the best way to manage lots of email. Evidence? Well, the internal mailing list that IIM Kozhikode students set up has seen well over a thousand messages in the past three weeks. Almost all those who chose to receive this deluge of email in their Yahoo! webmail inboxes have been unable to deal with the traffic, and have either simply lost track of content and have given up reading it, or have been unable to locate the information they need. On the other hand, those of us with Gmail accounts have had little or no trouble. Although my Gmail inbox has gone up from roughly 2200 email conversations to 3100 conversations in these 3 weeks, I never felt as if I couldn’t manage to read content as it came in, or re-visit the content that I wanted to.
