Google last week unveiled the Gmail
Notifier, an application which lets you know if you have Gmail without having to actually open your browser.
Resting happily in your icon tray, the Google eyes wait for you to click them to check your mail. The application
checks your mail every two minutes, notifying you via a message when new ones arrive.
You can also set the Notifier to become the default email application when you click on an email link on a web page.








1. Trying to change the way we look at e-mail and read messages is not Google's core competency and they have really done poorly. Other than a thousand MB of space, gmail is the worst of the major email providers - I know it's in beta, but just the interface and lack of folders makes it unusable.
