Many of us use the built in email client on Windows Mobile but sometimes we get creative. Sometimes we venture out and decide to download Java and the Gmail app along with it. Then we have full access to our email. All the beauty of archive, threaded email, contacts, and search is at our finger tips. Yet it still lacks something. It lacks alerts. Unfortunately at the moment there is no way to be alerted from the Java Gmail app when a new email has arrived.
So today we will be demonstrating a temporary fix.
The first thing that you are going to want to do is go into your Gmail settings. Click on forwarding. Then click on the button that says “Forward a copy of incoming mail to”. Here’s the tricky part. You have to know you phone number email so to speak. For at&t it’s the number@txt.att.net so for example 5551112222@txt.att.net (In order to find your phone numbers email address just send a text to your email and it will display it.) Then sit back and watch your emails come to you in a text. It’s not the best and a little garbled but at least it’s a notification allowing you to go into your Java Gmail to check your email and react accordingly. Voila notifications for your Java Gmail via text.
Let us know if this helps or if you prefer to have IMAP.

You see them just about everywhere. You can find them at sporting events, graduations, parties, church socials, school events and just about anything deserving of a picture. It’s the person with their camera phone in action. Years ago it was the video camera popping up everywhere but they seem to be well out numbered by camera phones these days.
But are these tiny digital cameras worthy of such excitement? Are they more of a novelty than a legitimate camera? Many are VGA quality (about .3 megapixels) and have plastic lenses that are scratched or smudged with a greasy thumb print that enter the photography arena handicapped by design. Advancements in technology have pushed these tiny cameras along the evolutionary path but can they go beyond their novelty and become a convenient alternative to a stand-alone camera?
Read on for a history of your Camera Phone, how it works, and pointers for taking better shots!
