NuevaSync Adds Task Sync Support!

by JonBot on Oct.01, 2009, under Windows Phone Thoughts

“To sync tasks you need a compatible device (iPhones don’t have tasks support yet but Windows Mobile, Nokia and Palm Pre phones do). Register for a Toodledo account (free or pro). Enable and configure tasks on our web site—enter your Toodledo username and password.”

A few months ago I wrote about NuevaSync’s Push GMail Solution which beat out Google’s official support for GMail through Exchange ActiveSync by quite a few months. Now that Google has caught up, NuevaSync has again decided to up the ante by adding Tasks support! The catch is – the tasks sync isn’t with Google Tasks (Since it’s pretty bare bones and doesn’t have a published API), it’s with a task managing service named Toodledo!

NuevaSync: Google + Windows Mobile in Sync Harmony

by JonBot on Jul.13, 2009, under Windows Phone Thoughts

Earlier this week, synchronization service NuevaSync announced their latest addition to the platform, push e-mail. NuevaSync already had calendar & contact sync from Google to Windows Mobile, iPhone, and pretty much any platform that supports the Microsoft Activesync protocol. Since I’ve been using Google for the last month or so (in lieu of my exchange server), I thought it may be interesting to give this service a shot. After all, only $25 for a year of service isn’t too pricey (.002 cents per hour if you want to think of it that way…).

The first thing you notice about NuevaSync is it’s no-frills website. This makes it mobile friendly, and still usable on the desktop… Continue reading

A Windows Man Goes Google

by Jon Westfall on Mar.31, 2009, under Windows Phone Thoughts

About a month ago I decided to try something. For over 4 years I’d had a Gmail account that did little more than filter SPAM before it passed up to my exchange server, yet I kept hearing about all the awesome things you could do with Gmail. Sites touted various features and gizmos, the ability to search easier and the quicker load times than my existing solution, Outlook. So I decided to take the plunge and go Google for a bit and see how I felt about it.

On February 26 I disabled Gmail’s forwarding to my exchange server, and now after 1 month, I’m ready to share my impressions. First, I’ll share a bit about my motivations regarding the Google experiment. First, Outlook can… Continue reading

Forget GMail, Go HTCMail?

by Jon Westfall on Sep.04, 2007, under Windows Phone Thoughts

“HTC also today announced the launch of HTCmail, a fully hosted, secure, and managed email service based on Microsoft Hosted Exchange. HTCmail will bring the benefits of always-connected business to mobile professionals. The HTC offering provides seamless and real-time access to up to five different email accounts, either personal or work mailboxes, aggregated and instantly delivered to a mobile device through Outlook 2007.
