I am great fan of google apps especially google. I pointed my mail server records to Google for all of my websites and so I can truely access email from anywhere.

I have been using Gmail on my PDA for a couple of years now and its fantastic, but could be better.

So my curiousity was peaked when news of the android platform came out. Would they embrase the opportunity to do something good here.

Well it turns out they will.

If your curious too, then follow the jump to the developers blog page

Apologies for the lack of updates. I’ve been head down working on a ’secret announcement’ that we think will rock the IT world. In the meantime, here are some interesting web technologies that I have been trialling out.

For those of you that twitter you will be glad to know that both of these sites / tools work with Twitter. (Follow me on ‘davebirchall’)

Remember the Milk

This is so simple but yet so effective. It’s basically just a to do list but you can break it down into list of your choice, prioritize them by time, add them to your Google calendar and more. I can access it from my PDA, or laptop. If I don’t have an internet connection, Google gears allows me to work offline. You can assign tasks to your colleagues ,wife or dog if he can use a computer. I can reach everything from within Google apps also.

Tweet what you spend

Again, such a simple idea. I am furious I didn’t think of it myself. Would you like to keep track of your spending without having to carry lists around? Now you can simply tweat the amount using some special syntax and have it land in your tweat what you spend account. From there you can categorise and sort to your hearts content and even export to excel.

Because we are using twitter, I can also text both of these account to enter into them. Very mobile
