It seems like Google Doc and Google Desktop team never stop working even in the eve of long holiday this coming week. Or probably this is the last release this year?
To avid Google Doc users, this is great news for you. Google Doc is now available on your desktop via Google Desktop.
We’re expecting opening and creating document can be done on the gadget itself, but it actually still relying on web browser to do that.
Via the gadget, beside opening & creating document, you can only do documents search and uploading single document at one time.Pretty impressive, although I’m expecting more than this.
What’s next??
Another day another app goes desktop. After GMail, it is now Youtube turn to debut in Google Desktop.
There are video listing such what popular, featured video, most viewed and etc. I notice that certain video require you to view it at Youtube website itself, puzzled..
Got a hands on experience with Gmail gadget in Google Desktop after released a week ago. My impression is, this is a lite version of Gmail, accessible from your desktop with Google Desktop.
All basic email features are available (forward, reply, compose, except delete) as well as ‘star’ feature. Emails still can be viewed via ‘email thread’, but there is no ‘label’ feature available. Meaning that you can’t label emails and view all emails grouped by label.
Keep in mind that Google Desktop requires internet connection to work, so that your Gmail on desktop won’t be disconnected.
I still prefer using IMAP over this gadget, as I’m not a heavy Google Desktop user, and rarely got it switched on.
