iGoogle
Google is just Search Engine, but iGoogle is your personalised Google page. You can keep whatever you want on your iGoogle page. You can show news, weather, stock, movie updates etc., It’s not an application basically but its a customisable webpage which is a must for Google addict.
Also there is lot of application which could fit in top 6 but I though these are must in my accordance.
One more to add … Evernote. It works on almost all mobile platforms, and is great for taking notes, looking up your old notes, and just keeping on top of life 🙂
So does this work for all the mobile phones?
You should have included the Fring application for Chat rather than anyone, as it includes many clients and is a light and well made app.
It’s time to switch to Android device and use Emoze Push client which gives the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange ,IMAP,Gmail Hotmail but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I’ve done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients like Touchdown, Moxier, K9 and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for at least 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.
I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.
Other features which are quite useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email
and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.
This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.
