Microsoft's Not the Only One Doing Mobile Mail
The same day the beta invites started going out for Windows Live Mail Mobile,
Google launched Gmail Mobile. So far, Gmail Mobile is supporting relatively few cell phones and PDAs and only those in the U.S.. But wider coverage is coming soon, Google claims. And you can get
Gmail Mobile on your Blackberry, too. And speaking of Google, it's sounding like Microsoft's nemesis bested Microsoft in the contest for whose search engine would power Google search, going forward. As part of that deal,
Google reportedly will invest $1 billion in AOL, in exchange for a five percent stake.
