Google Announces Three New Product Enhancements For iDevice Owners
June 15, 2011
Google announced three new updates to its Google Sync product today for iPhone and iPad users. Each enhancement, which is automatic, makes mobile communicating easier and quicker. The announcement was made via the Google Blog.
Google Sync isn’t an app, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. Think of it as the engine that keeps your Gmail, Contacts, and Calendars in check. In other words, it syncs this information across multiple platforms.
The improvements announced today are specifically geared toward iPhone and iPad users and affect the usage of Gmail and Google Apps email accounts.
First, users are now able to search all their emails in Gmail, not just the emails stored locally by the iOS Mail app.
Second, you can now accept, decline or edit calendar events from the iOS calendar app.
Finally, Google is now making it easier to send email from the Gmail address you want.
They state:
We recognize that some of you manage multiple email addresses from a single Gmail account.Gmail’s “Send Mail as” feature lets you send messages with another email address listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address, e.g. joe@altostrat.com instead of joe@gmail.com. Now the iOS mail app will respect these settings.With all of this love Google is showering on iDevice customers, perhaps we can forget about our previous article. What do you think?
