Damn you, Google. As if my email addiction weren’t bad enough already, you have to go and create Google Mobile, a Java app for my cellphone that lets me read my Gmail messages, even on my crappy but stylish Razr V3. Message threading, easy scanning, and most importantly, quick message deletion–all the features I look for in a mail client are there. Too bad the app crashes my phone almost daily, and has a hard time hanging on to a data connection when I’m using it on the train, and is probably running me up a fortune in data transfer charges from Cingular. I just can’t help returning to it time and again, like a junkie returning for a fix of smack even though his needles are rusty and the junk is mixed with too much rat poison.
