Very good evidence that Gmail will be adding e-mail and integrating with a service called Evite this was from examination of the source code of Gmail. The Voicemail feature is a interesting one and if implemented correctly could really change the landscape of some of the existing services out there.

30 Boxes First Look!
30 Boxes is a on line calendar that is very simple to use and can be shared. I am not a 100% sure if it will replace my outlook appointment folder but it may replace what my wife and I and some people I work with that use Groove currently to keep a synchronized common schedule.
I only played around with it for about 30 minutes but can see where the net presence of this thing tying into some other social network sites is going to make it very popular and we may indeed be seeing a paradym shift in the way people work their appointment folders etc. [www.30boxes.com]
I still want a web based application like this that will replace Groove but nothing has come close yet.
Symantec user Supported Customer Support Board
It seems that the Symantec user community where not very happy when Symantec closed the official forum area on their website. Not to be deterred users opened a unofficial support board and the number of people using the forum area is significant. I am going to investigate a little further but it blows me away that Symantec would shut there own forum section down. [www.boardfish.com]

Google Talk activates XMPP server-to-server communications
For those of you that are the Geeks you understand the importance of this development. It is obvious at least in this initiative that Google wants to kick the utilization of Google Talk (GTalk) into a higher playing field.
For a more detailed explanation here is a quote from the original article at [Neowin.net]
“Basically GTalk can now communicate with users of other Jabber/XMPP servers — before GTalk was limited to only other GTalk users. This does not mean communication between MSN, Yahoo, or AOL because these services all use difference protocols. A full explination can be found on the Jabber.org website here.”

Sprint EVDO 3G Service in Hawaii Limited!
Well I am glad Sprint has a 14 trial period, I am sad to say both of the locations I needed 3G service in only has 1G and I’m not paying $79.99 for that. One of the main Sprint Representatives swore to me that the areas I needed where covered. Well guess what he was wrong.
I drove all over trying to find a 3G signal, I actually had to drive 5 miles before I picked up the service. I can understand a mile or so but 5 miles from where they claimed the service was. Pisses me off that I spent a couple of hours getting the service setup. It’s better than dial up but not that much better.
We live in a digital world and these companies better hurry up and get their service rolled out to bigger areas I and many others need high speed 24/7 not just when we are at home.
