Googbility

I’m still using a N73 but my Palm has long since died. Too lazy to acquire a proper PDA and to conduct the prior appropriate research that accompanies one such purchase, I merely stuck to my dying Nokia and have been loading it with one feature after another. With it, I can open and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint and pdf files, check up the entire Merriam-Webster dictionary, translate English-Chinese and Chinese-English, seek directions from a MightyMinds pocket Singapore street directory, and run my life on Goosync.

Now, without my phone, I’d be quite dead. But without Google, I’d be even deader.

Google Calender occupies a permanent first tab in my Firefox browser, whether at home or in the office, and Google Mail follows a close second with Google Docs (makes things soooo much more convenient; I wish others’d use it more!) right behind. I’ve been lovin’ it since they introduced Tasks to Calendar, and it’s the reason why I’ve been working less in Thunderbird lately. After all, everything’s synced with everything else in all directions.

    Will you be testing out Android? Or what about upgrading your phone to the Google phone. The G1 or something.

    Me too am relying on google too much! Only realise how bad it is when it was down the other day! For me, it’s Gmail -> Calendar -> Docs…

    @APG: My Nokia’s still hanging in there. No plans to upgrade yet, not until it finally dies on me. What are you on now?

    @vincent: It’s hard to imagine a pre-Google life. This is bad.
