Inbox by Gmail

Inbox by Gmail:

Inbox by Gmail requires an invite. Email inbox@google.com to request one.

Your email inbox should help you live and work better, but instead it often buries the important stuff and creates more stress than it relieves. Inbox, built by the Gmail team, keeps things organized and helps you get back to what matters.

  • BUNDLES – Similar messages are bundled together so you can deal with them all at once. And get rid of them with one tap.
  • HIGHLIGHTS – Get the most important information without even opening the message. Check-in for flights, see shipping information for purchases, and view photos from friends right up front.
  • REMINDERS: More than mail, you can add Reminders so your inbox contains all the things you need to get back to.
  • SNOOZE: Snooze emails and Reminders to come back when you are ready to deal with them: next week, when you get home, or whenever you choose.
  • SEARCH: Inbox helps you find exactly what you’re looking for— from your upcoming flight to a friend’s address— without having to dig through messages.
  • WORKS WITH GMAIL: Inbox is built by the Gmail team, so all your messages from Gmail are here, along with the reliability and spam protection of Gmail. All of your messages are still in Gmail and always will be.

Inbox by Gmail is available for Android and iOS.

Yes, it is working with Gmail only and currently requires an invite.

Requesting Invitation for Google Inbox

I am really intrigued by Google’s attempt to redefine what email is. At the same time I am curious what Google get from out of this. I use Google Apps for my email services and Google Domains for my personal domain. Haven’t I even Google enough pieces of myself?

By the way, I have a few Google Domains invite left.

It is freaking huge, and a lot of pixels. Pretty sure it has more molecules too. Obviously, it will shipped with Android 5.0, Lollipop.

From The Verge:

The Motorola-made smartphone will start at $649, available for preorder later this month

Yikes! $649?

I am expecting Nexus phones to undercut the competitors, not this time. I bought a 16GB Nexus 4 for $349 before the price drop.

Nexus 6 will be available Late October in the US from Google Play Store and:

Tips: Sync Your Web Browsers Settings

Just a few years ago, setting up a new computer for either yourself or others was a chore. It is still a chore, but easier. Thanks to sync services provided by Apple, Google and Mozilla; moving browsers’ settings and bookmarks are no longer difficult.

Apple has iCloud, Google has Chrome Sync and Mozilla has Firefox Sync. You get to move your Bookmarks and Passwords with ease.

Google Domains Invitation

I requested an invite to Google Domains back on June 25, 2014. Just earlier today I received the invite code.

The first thing I would do is transferring a domain name that I procured through Google Apps some years ago. It was registered through Godaddy, as it was the only available option.
