A slow down
Tech-tag will probably not be updated in the next while – instead the time will be spend preparing tech-tag version 2.0!

Trying out Opera mini browser for cell phones
Opera has for quite some time been a player in the browser market, and especially their mobile browser has been getting attention. I tried this browser out on the Nokia 6610i.
Installation is pretty easy, I just had to find the version compatible with the cell phone. Once got used to it, I definetely prefer Opera to the builtin browser on the phone, it looks better, I find it easier to use and Gmail mobile works. I could however not detect any difference in speed in these first tryouts, but it could still be there.
With Gmail mobile access up and running I think I prefer this to the other E-mail solutions I’ve tried out, for the reasons given yesterday, and because it has the great search option.

Gmail mobile access
I’ve just noticed, that Google has opened for mobile access to Gmail. This means that by pointing any cell phone browser at http://m.gmail.com it should be possible to check any Gmail account. This provides a nice alternative for the email applications for cell phones I’ve posted on ealier.
After trying it out I had some positive and negative experience. First of all I could not make it work on my Nokia 6610i but it seemed to work fine with the Samsung E330. Secondly it seemed to take just a little longer, and be a little more difficult to check mail than using my current favourite, Flurrymail. On the positive side it did a very nice overview of the complete mailbox and had the familiar Gmail-look.
