iPhone: Exchange? Great, but what about Google Apps?

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Mar 7 2008

As an IT Administrator that is happily "exchanging" my headache of Active Directory/ Exchange server knowledge in for a company that wants to move to Google Apps, I am surprised that Apple has forgot its best buddy, Google – at least for the time being. 

The SDK announcement yesterday included no reference to Google Apps working on the iPhone.  While I’ve been using IMAP to check my Google Apps Email for awhile now (at push-like 1 minute intervals), it is a bit of a pain to connect to the Calendar and Addressbook through the EDGE web interface.  I would much prefer to use the native apps like Exchange now can.  I also know that I can sync my desktop Calendar and Addressbook.app to Google Apps and sync it periodically with the iPhone…but this isn’t really how I’d like to work (well since 1998) – and the point of the iPhone’s Internet connectivity is to be able to receive updates in real time.

iTunes Videos competitor Vevo launches tomorrow

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Dec 7 2009

Vevo, a joint venture between Sony and Universal Music, claims to be the “Hulu for music videos”.  That remains to be seen.  However, the site did get a big boost today by announcing that a third (of the big four) music label, EMI, would be adding their content to the site.

The site launches tomorrow and is powered by Youtube.  Coincidentally, Warner, the only major label not in Vevo, has a partnership with Google to do videos on their own.  Vevo has put out their sloppy version of Video Killed the Radio Star below, with 50 Cent.

As Apple tablet rumours drove company stock to new highs across the Christmas period, another small slice of information has emerged, suggesting the company does indeed hold plans to extend its application provision into the Cloud.

An Apple job posting this week reveals the company to be looking for an engineer to

Google Web Drive coming soon

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Jan 26 2009

We’re kinda going off topic – or cross topic if you’d like – here but we know a lot of you readers use Google Apps.  Plus, you like hints solving technology mysteries right?  Well, we’ve uncovered some information on Google’s infamous GDrive or Webdrive that seem to indicate that you’ll soon be able to store your documents with Google.   Here’s the Google Webdrive icon:

Cédric Vergé noticed a change in one of the CSS files for Google Apps: there’s a class named "webdrive" and an icon for the new service.


When Google released Picasa for Mac, many people wondered what’s the mystery behind a menu option titled "Google Web Drive":

Egnyte for Cloud file storage, backup

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Jun 4 2008

Small businesses, more than their larger counterparts, have really been able to take advantage of Software as a Service (Saas) applications to handle large parts of their technology needs. Salesforce and Highrise handle CRM. Basecamp handles project management. Recently, Microsoft and, to a much large extent, Google Apps are handling enterprise style messaging and calendaring.

However, no one has been able to replace that big server in the closet that serves up files and backs up the desktop computers.

Until now…

Microsoft Bowing Out of the Mac Platform? Could Office 2008 Be the Last from Microsoft?

Avatar for 9to5 Staff Jun 16 2007

MacWindows The resignation of Roz Ho as General Manager of the Macintosh Business Unit before WWDC 2007 should have been a premonition of Microsoft’s incredibly poor showing at the event (either that or she knew how painfully lame it was going to be). It had been speculated that Redmond would announce the distribution of the new 2008 version of its market dominating Office suite at the event.  But Microsoft had nothing to announce. Is this a sign of things to come?  When will it get released and will Office 2008 be the last upgrade to Office that the Mac sees?  Are Bill and Steve not getting along as well as they appear to be with Walt Mossberg?

Google's iPhone trash talkin'

Yesterday’s Google I/O keynote is now posted online. I wonder if Steve Jobs would have kept Schmidt on the board this long had he known what was happening behind the scenes.
