Palm Announces Increased GMail Compatibility
January 17, 2008
With everyone addicted to their Crackberries, and all the fanatical devotion to the iPhone, it is easy to forget that the old standby of Palm still has significant market share in the world of mobile computing. Palm late this evening sought to remind us that they’re still aware of what’s going on, and posted an update alerting the world that the mail client for Palm devices, VersaMail now has improved GMail compatibility.
The new product updates give enhancements to the GMail IMAP compatibility and an easier setup wizard to import GMail setting. Additionally, there are improvements that help eliminate the silent failure of email with Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology during an ActiveSync using Exchange.
Those Palm users who haven’t yet started using GMail or don’t have something set up on a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync server don’t have any reason to update, but it is a good move by Palm to bring some relevancy to the platform.
