Gmail can now find if your friends are sleeping or awake: "

Gmail Labs has introduced a new feature called Sender Time Zone that can tell if the receiver of your mail might be sleeping or is awake.



How To Turn On the Sender Time Zone Lab Feature?

• Open Gmail and click on the settings link. Then click on the labs tab.


• Once in the labs, scroll down to find the Sender Time Zone feature. Enable it and save the settings.

Once this feature is enabled, you’ll notice green phone icons next to your contacts who are awake (that is, it is between 9 AM and 6 PM in their time zone) and red phone icons in front of those contacts who are probably sleeping.



How it Works?



Every email message contains a header which contains all the information about the sender and the receiver, like IP addresses, time zone information etc. Gmail uses the time zone information from these headers to display these icons

Nokia Shows Off New Symbian UI

Nokia Shows Off New Symbian UI: "

The other day we told you that Nokia would be releasing just one Maemo handset next year, and that they would be concentrating on the Symbian OS.

Nokia has now shown of some photos of how the new re-designed Symbian UI will look, with some renders of what they intend to make Symbian look like.

Nokia intend to streamline the new UI but cutting scrolling rates from 15fps to 6fps, as well as adding more functionality, and cutting down the number of taps you have to make to perform a particular task.

As you can seen from the renders in the photos, the concept phones featured have large capacitive displays, something that Nokia intends to bring to new handsets in 2010.

It will be interesting so see what Nokia comes up with when they release the new Symbian UI, and whether or not it was a good idea for them to stick with Symbian instead of switching all their handsets to Maemo.
