Just caught this on Slashdot:

Free IMAP on Gmail

We use Google Apps at Concrete Websites, so I thought I’d check, and – lo and behold – we have it! You have to check your account’s settings tab, and if you’re lucky, you’ll see Forwarding and POP/IMAP (it used to just be POP.)

Once I confirmed that this option was available, it was a matter of five seconds before I retrieved my iPhone, and attempted to get my Google Apps email account integrated into it – hoping that IMAP access would end all manner of painful interaction between the phone the Gmail account (much of which has been recounted elsewhere.) Fortunately, Google has a helpful page that lists connection information for a variety of platforms – including, yes, the iPhone .

So far I’m pretty impressed. Deleting messages in the iPhone deletes them nearly immediately in Gmail. Your various labels are reflected as IMAP folders (including All Mail, allowing you to keep your mail nicely archived while still using your iPhone.) I’m looking forward to being able to go back to using Apple’s Mail client, which I’d abandoned due to the difficult nature of sharing multiple POP clients with one POP mail account.

Thanks, Google!

I am laying in bed, blogging from an iphone … And loving every second of it. It is a revolution. That is all.

I have yet to see this mentioned around the Mac web, but along with session saving, draggable tabs, very sexy inline find, resizable text fields, some enhanced privacy options and bookmark/history searching, the Safari 3 beta for OS X (and likely Windows as well) presents a long overdo fix for a very annoying rendering bug:

In Safari 3, DHTML content displayed over Flash content no longer disappears or displays erratically!

Thanks, Apple. Now fix that memory usage, and get me Flash on the iPhone. Pretty please?

...is kind of like trying to drain the ocean with a turkey baster. Nevertheless, I’m attempting to do just that (mostly because I bore easily):
