MobileMe is useless - Part 1

Hi
Many of you may know of Apple's MobileMe service. It has many features such as bookmark syncing, calendar syncing, online space and finding your lost iPhone. Now a MobileMe subscription costs around AU$119. It is completely ridiculous as I have found a way to easily get almost every feature for free and the few that cost, very cheaply.


iPhone Syncing


This feature is very easy. The first step is to make a Gmail account.


Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account...>Microsoft Exchange
Then just plug in your email address and password. Your can ignore the domain. On the next screen, input the following settings:


Server: m.google.com
Domain: Leave this blank
Username: your email address


Then ensure Mail, Contacts and Calendars are on. When you press Done, press Keep on my iPhone. This should sync all your contacts, emails and calander information to your iPhone. If it does not work, feel free to email me at ravingsoftechnogeek@gmail.com. Lastly, in your Gmail, go into settings and then to Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Go down to "2. When messages are accessed with POP" and set it to "keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox".




I will continue Mac syncing, Windows syncing and Find my iPhone in the next few posts.

It also has a 4-piece chopper attachment which
is perfect for cutting vegetable so that you can blend it
to create soft diet or utilize it for your cooking needs.
So instead of buying, lugging around and having to get some room to hold a heavy food
processor that will only perform several functions, you will want to get a Kenwood hand blender that can perform
all the above plus much more. This class of blenders will come in
various wattages, from the 200W and above 700W range.
