Friends and fellow campaigners would sure agree that Obama is addicted to communicating through his blackberry and e-mail. The U.S Presidential Records Act directs that all his correspondence be put in the official record, for public reviews which has forced many former Presidents to quit using wireless and internet communication.

Obama has been spotted frequently using his blackberry to keep track of his campaigns. Supporters of Obama had been constantly supporting him throughout his campaign and advising through his Blackberry.

Obama is known for being short and crisp while sending or replying to his messages. While e-mailing or sending a text message through his Blackberry, he always uses properly spelled words which do not contain any symbols or emoticons. Well, that’s more president like! He never misses to message his friends, “Sox!” if his all time favorite Chicago based baseball team, White Sox won a game.

Some of the time stamps on his messages show how hard he worked while working on a campaign or preparing for a speech. Staff members have received messages from him at 1:00 am or even 3:00 am.

It is reported that even George Bush who was a frequent e-mail user had mentioned to his friends from his old AOL mail about his inability to privately converse and said that he was saddened about the isolation.

Google has introduced Gmail for its first Android-powered phone, T-Mobile G1. Gmail for Android has more to offer than for Symbian and Windows Mobile.

Gmail for Android auto updates new e-mail messages as it arrives and helps create or find messages faster.

Some of the key features of Gmail on Android are:

Push email: Gmail on Android auto refreshes its mail box and hence you do not need to refresh or log in again to check new email arrivals

Notifications: Gmail for Android can notify you whenever a new email arrives on the status bar itself similar to a new SMS alert. Hence you would be aware of any new messages when it arrives.

Address Autocomplete: Similar to the normal Gmail on your desktop, Gmail on Android also lets you enter long email addresses using just a few keystrokes.

View Attachments: Android also helps open email attachments like photos, Microsoft Word™ documents, MP3s and PDF files by just clicking on them.

T-Mobile G1, also called the Google cell phone is the worlds first cell phone with an Android open-source operating system. The phone has been developed with partnership with HTC, Google and the Open Handset Alliance.

Google is now looking at cashing in using the young iPhone users. Ads on iPhone does not look like a dumb concept though with more than 10 million iPhones already sold.

With its good Samaritan looks, Google may look deceptive as a social non-profit organization. It is in turn one of the highest profit making companies online having a mainstay in every top online revenue channel.

Reports are that Google would be advertising on iPhones. With Google entering the iPhone advertising market, advertisers will be able to create an iPhone ad group where they can create ads for iPhone in their regular search campaign. Google may not be providing this feature for its Android, Google’s cellphone immediately. However, Google will certainly have Android in mind while developing the iPhone ad feature.

For gPhone watchers, this has been quite a long wait. The gPhone supposed to be released on August is now expected to be released in September or by mid of October.

The phone design played a large role in influencing various companies to join the Open Handset Alliance. Now with HTC planning on a commercial version for gPhone, a lot of rumors and expectations have surrounded it. It is been reported that T-Mobile would be selling it for a pre-sale price of $150. The handset would be available at this price only for T-Mobile existing customers. The October plan for T-Mobile customers would include an out-of-budget data plan and a costly price tag of $399.

Apart from the Google-HTC mobiles, HTC is also working on a non-Qualcomm 3G device which is also on a scheduled launch late 2008 or by early 2009. The device would be used on WiMax/TD-WCDMA Handsets but unlikely that the 3G device would be used by Google with its open-source banner.
