Google lo avrebbe in cantiere ormai da mesi, fin dal lancio di Google Gears, ma ancora in queste ore nega: chi sembra certo del suo arrivo è l”Hindustan Times, che dedica un lungo articolo alla questione ripreso persino da TechCrunch.

Top 10 little-known Gmail features (Part 2)

Category: Gmail | Sep 1, 2007

Smart links on the right
When you get an email that references an address, look to the right and you”ll probably see a link from Gmail pointing you to a map of the address on Google Maps. Gmail also recognizes email text that refers to an event (e.g., ”dinner tomorrow at 8pm’ and will give you a link to add it to your calendar. It”ll even pick up on package tracking numbers from UPS and link you directly to the tracking page, so you don”t have to copy and paste the number. I really like this last one when I order stuff online and want the instant gratification of knowing a package is on its way. (more…)
