GMail by Cellphone

Calling Google
December 16, 2005 6:50 AM PST
Googlers can now pick up their smart phone and dial into their Google email account, regardless of which cellular carrier is connecting to their phone. So, whether sitting through a boring board meeting or stuck in traffic, Gmail can be accessed.

The Gmail service is designed to allow users to access their mail and keep it synced up, whether its checked via a cell phone or a PC. And although the Gmail service is free, users still have to foot the bill to get Internet access via their carrier, in order to click onto the Google site.

And Internet access is not cheap. Some carriers, meanwhile, are offering cheaper, hybrid pricing plans, where users can access some limited Net information, such as Yahoo or AOL mail, sports scores and weather. But those plans don't allow for free roaming on the Internet.

Great blog!
I really enjoyed looking over your last post. Pet peeve #1 - People with a cellphone plastered to their ear while trying to drive. Don't they realize all they have to do is go to www.bluetoothbargains.combluetooth get a bluetooth and make driving alot easier for all of us. Soon laws will require it! Well, keep the great posts coming and I'll be back to check it out.
