i had an epiphany tonight that might help some of you. i wanted quick, easy, seamless integration "one stop shopping" of my Contacts, Calendar, and Gmail on my PC. on the PC - up until now - i was using Thunderbird for Gmail, Firefox for Web Surfing, and i had no easy Contacts and Calendar PC solution except for using Firefox to just browse to it. this was all fragmented and slow and clumsy. coming from Palm Desktop i wanted something quick, easy, and integrated (although Palm Desktop didn't have email - i had to use Outlook Express in the past).
anyway - here is my EVO/Android Desktop/PC solution -
1. Ditch Firefox, Explorer, Outlook, Thunderbird. ditch them all.
2. Download and Install and Use the Chrome Browser exclusively.
3. Download and Install these 3 Chrome Extensions -
A. Google Calendar Checker
B. Google Contacts
C. Google Mail Checker
now you will have ONE app and one interface to surf the web and quick and easy access/notifications to check email, access contacts, and access your calendar. if you have multiple accounts, just have Chrome remember your usernames and passwords and it's an easy click to jump back and forth between each account.
this all in one solution is working great so far and i'd like to hear any ideas to improve it.
thanks.
