I can’t believe this is the 3^rd post I write about GMail in 7 days. Last Thursday, they rolled out voice & video chat, then I mentioned about GMail Mobile, today they announced another new feature : Change theme for your GMail.

GMail Themes feature is not officially enabled yet, you’ll only see it in coming days. Anyway, below is a sneak peak of the 30+ themes that you get to select :-

If you like the movie Matrix, GMail engineer even came out a theme called Terminal for you :-

GMail Mobile 2.0 was released on 23^rd Oct and I upgraded it immediately. The newer version is still very small in size (256kb), but now supports more J2ME phones (Nokia N95, BlackBerry, etc.) with over 35 languages for users to select.

Well, it’s undeniable more useful features have been added into v2.0, but I still experience slow connection (even on 3G) every now and then.

Useful features :-

• Application loading up pretty fast – You don’t have to wait for too long until you see the emails list
• Support multiple accounts – Log in to different gmail accounts in 1 application
• Offline message composing – You may compose email when you are having poor signal then send it later
• Multiple mobile email drafts – Compose multiple email draft and save it in the mobile phone

Glitches :-

• Need refreshing (to load new emails) after logging in.
• Loss of connection even signal is good.

I suppose GMail has become the top pick for free email service nowadays, so if you are using it GMail Mobile 2.0 is the application you must have on your mobile phone especially you are always on the move.

Intel just did a counter attack at the right time! After knewing AMD is catching up with the launching of its first 45nm Opteron processor, Intel today announced its latest desktop processor, Core i7!

This new desktop processor from Intel, the first member of a new family of Nehalem processor designs, is claimed to be the fastest desktop processor by scoring a world record of 117 for the SPECint_base_rate2006 benchmark test. This is by far the most sophisticated Intel desktop processor ever built with new technologies that boost performance.

Some highlights of Intel Core i7 :-

• Clock Speed at 2.66GHz-3.20GHz
• 8MB L3 Cache, shared among all 4 cores
• Turbo Boost Technology
• Integrated memory controller for higher memory bandwidth (somehow AMD has been doing this since 2001).
• 2x the bandwidth, compared to previous Intel Quad Core “Extreme” processors
• 40% performance increase for immersive 3-D games, without increasing power consumption
• Intel Quickpath Technology, enables it to 8-threaded (4 cores running multiple computing threads simultaneously) performance
• Power Gates, for power-saving & performance boosting
