Gmail adds support for multiple calls

No comments:
Gmail multiple call feature


We have all admired Gmail's excellent communication features like voice,video calling and the recently introduced phone calling. Earlier, we could make or receive a single call at a time but today Gmail adds support for multiple calls. Don't confuse multiple calls with call conferencing. Multiple calling feature will just let you put a call on hold while you talk on another call. The mechanism behind this is pretty simple - you are indulged in call, somebody else calls you, you are prompted with options to accept or reject the call, if you happen to accept the call then previously active call will be automatically put on hold while you talk on the new call. ( Simple right ? ). You can resume or put on hold any call at any time.

This was a much awaited feature and I'm glad that it's finally introduced in Gmail.

Gmail adds new feature "UNDO" to it's ipad / iOS mobile web app

No comments:


Now when you use the Gmail mobile web app, you’ll have a small window of opportunity to undo four key actions: archive, delete, add or remove a label, or move a message/conversation.


When you take one of these actions, Gmail displays a yellow bar that recaps what you just did and allows you to undo it:

This bar stays in position even if you move to another screen (e.g. moving to ‘Menu’ from ‘Inbox’). If you don’t happen to catch your mistake in time, not to worry: all four actions can still be undone through other means (e.g. you can move a message from Trash back into your Inbox).

Try it out at gmail.com in the browser of your Android or iOS device.

This update is available for phones running Android or iOS, but not tablet devices with the two-pane Gmail interfact.
It is also now available for BlackBerry OS 6.0 phones.

Click to call phone numbers [ New feature - Gmail ]

No comments:
With the ability to call phones built right into Gmail, you no longer have to get out your phone and retype a number anytime someone sends you one in an email or chat message. Starting today, you’ll see that phone numbers appear as links, like this:



Just click the number, and Gmail’s dialpad will pop up, already populated with the number you’re trying to call.




Click “Call” and voilĂ ! Of course, if you don’t already have the voice and video plugin installed, you’ll be prompted to do that first.

You’ll also see a little green phone icon next to numbers in your contacts which you can use to do the same thing.
