A downside to URL shorteners?
Sep 30th
URL shorteners have played a large roll in making Twitter awesome because without them you would not be able to post most links on Twitter because of the 140 character limit.

MMS now available for iPhone on AT&T

What do you think? Do you have a Wii? If not, why?

Google has announced on the official Gmail blog that push Gmail is going to now be supported in Gmail Sync for iPhone and WinMo. Google Sync is still in beta and so there are going to be bugs. I have tested the mail sync on my iPhone and it is not even loading my mail correctly so I switched back to IMAP until the bugs clear up. I still sync my contacts and calendar on my iPhone with Google Sync and it is working great. I am going to be waiting a day or two then i will try push More >
