Google Drops Exchange ActiveSync Support for Syncing Mail, Contacts, Calendars

Google Drops Exchange ActiveSync Support for Syncing Mail, Contacts, Calendars

Google has announced that it's discontinuing Google Sync, a service that provided Google Mail, Calendar, and Contacts sync via the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol.

Google Sync was designed to allow access to Google Mail, Calendar and Contacts via the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol. With the recent launch of CardDAV, Google now offers similar access via IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV, making it possible to build a seamless sync experience using open protocols. Starting January 30, 2013, consumers won't be able to set up new devices using Google Sync; however, existing Google Sync connections will continue to function. Google Sync will continue to be fully supported for Google Apps for Business, Government and Education. Users of those products are unaffected by this announcement.

While iOS users will still be able to use IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV to access their information on Google, Windows Phone users aren't so lucky. Microsoft does not yet support CalDAV or CardDAV on Windows Phone 8. In addition, IMAP access to email does will not support push; although, that is a lessor inconvenience.

It's unclear why Google is dropping support for the protocol but the decision is speculated to be part of a feud between the companies.

Google I/O 2012

Google's I/O developer conference is largely aimed at the people who create applications for Google's various software ecosystems or use Google's Web infrastructure, but the company also made a number of news announcements that are significant to all Google users--also known as everyone.

The following list details six of the most interesting and exciting announcements from Google I/O 2012 and explains why the announcements could be relevant to you. This list does not, however, cover all of news from I/O 2012; instead, it spotlights the most significant news for consumers and not just developers.

1) Google Nexus 7 Tablet and Android "Jelly Bean" 4.1

On Wednesday morning, the first day of I/O 2012, Google made what was perhaps the single most noteworthy announcement from the show: It showed off the brand new Nexus 7 tablet, which will be released in the middle of July with a starting price of $199. The tablet runs the latest version of the Android mobile OS, v4.1, or "Jelly Bean."

The Nexus 7 is 7-inches in size, it weighs 340 grams, and the tablet is built by electronics maker ASUS. The tablet has a 1280x800 HD display. It has a variety of wireless connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC--no cellular version has been announced yet. The Nexus 7 packs a Tegra chipset with quad-core CPU and a 12-core GPU. And it has a front-facing camera, though it doesn't have a camera on its rear panel. The Nexus 7 tablet should be released in mid-July, but you can preorder it from the Google Play store today for $199.99.

Google also detailed some of the enhancements for Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which should be rolled out for Galaxy Nexus, some Galaxy S devices and Motorola Xooms in July.

Jelly Bean will have application encryption, and apps on Jelly Bean devices that are updated via the Google Play store will get "smart" app updates, which means individual parts of the software APKs, or app packages, can be updated separately instead having to update entire APKs, as is the case in older versions of Android. The smart app updates can help reduce battery drain and other strain on system resources, according to Google.

Jelly Bean has new voice-typing functionality that lets you type using your voice when you don't have a Web connection. New camera improvements include navigation features and touch gestures. Jelly Bean notifications are much richer, and users can respond to certain notifications directly from their status bars without opening the actual applications. And new widgets resize themselves to fit in open spaces on users' home screens.

Hugo Barra, Google's director of Android product management, also announced some new Android statistics: The company has seen 400 million total Android activations to date, which is four times more than the number announced at last year's I/O conference; and Google sees a million new Android devices activated every day.

2) Nexus Q

The second new piece of hardware Google announced at I/O 2012 is the Nexus Q, a spherical, Android-powered computer that connects to home entertainments systems, including TVs and speakers system, and serves as a central media server for streaming music, TV and movies.

The device connects to the Google Play Store, and owners can purchase content from the shop using the device. The Nexus Q connects with other compatible Android devices via NFC or Bluetooth, so users can control it wirelessly using their smartphones or tablets. Anyone with a compatible Android phone can be added to the device's list of users, so people at a party with Android devices could, for example, control and edit music playlists. And a glowing ring of LEDs that circles the gadget glows in various colors based on the type of audio it's playing.

The Nexus Q will sell for $299, and you can pre-order one today via the Google Play store. Google says it will begin shipping the Nexus Q in July.

3) Chrome and Google Drive for Apple iOS

Google's VP of Chrome and Apps, Sundar Pichai announced some new usage statistics on the company's browser at the conference. Chrome currently has more than 310 million active users, making it the most popular browser in the world, according to Pichai.

Google users and developers have been "persistently asking" the company to release a version of the Chrome browser for Apple iOS devices, including iPhones and iPads, according to Google's Brian Rakowski, product manager of Chrome development. So Google responded at I/O by releasing Chrome for iOS.

Chrome wasn't the only new iOS app announced and released at I/O; iOS users also got new Google Drive applications. Google Drive is the company's cloud-storage service.

4) Google Play Store Enhancements

Google Play, the company's mobile app and online media store recently hit two milestones: Play has delivered a total of 20 billion total applications to date; and 600,000 apps and games are now available in the store.

Google announced at I/O that movies and TV shows are now available for purchase in Google Play. In the past, Play store customers could only rent films and TV episodes. Now they can purchase feature films, single TV episodes and full seasons. And Google partnered with media companies including Disney, ABC and NBC Universal to provide their content in the Play Store.

Google also brought magazines to Google Play, and company spotlighted the Esquire, Wired and Family Circle magazines. Two-week free trials are available for many of the magazines in Google Play. And all new content in the Play store is cloud based, so it can be accessed from anywhere--you can also download some content to your devices for offline use.

5) Google's Project Glass

Last April, Google officially announced Project Glass and its Glass device. Glass is a tiny camera that you wear on a pair of glasses or a glasses-like frame to capture your experiences as you see them. At I/O, Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, provided some updates on the initiative and coordinated an elaborate demonstration to show the value of Glass that included skydivers, stunt bicyclists and men scaling down the sides of the Moscone Center, where I/O was held.

The idea of the demonstration was to show how exciting it can be to see a firsthand view of an experience like jumping out of a plane, doing a backflip on a bike or scaling down a building. Google is clearly putting a lot of time and effort into Project Glass, and it's obvious that it sees some real potential in the idea of recording life experiences in this fashion.

Brin said Google still has a lot of work to do on Glass before it becomes officially available, but he also announced a special "Glass Explorer Edition" headset that developers can preorder for $1500. That device is expected to ship in early 2013.

First impression of Windows 8

Just recently i just downloaded and installed Microsoft Windows 8 release preview on my desktop. The new metro UI has included Adobe Flash Player and almost complete different user experience compared to Windows 7. Although the Windows 8 Release Preview is far from finished (with more changes to the desktop user interface still to come before RTM at the end of July), this is an operating system that has matured significantly since the Consumer Preview release in February. Metro is here to stay, but there are numerous improvements to the way you switch apps and open Charms with the mouse and trackpad; significant improvements to the Mail, Calendar, People and Photos apps; the addition of Flash to Metro-style IE; more Metro apps to try out; more attractive live tiles and a better range of colours for personalising the Start screen. You may not find Metro as disturbing as you think, especially when more notebooks support the full set of trackpad gestures.Performance and responsiveness are improved from the already speedy Consumer Preview; rough edges are getting their final polish and the big picture of Windows 8 is coming together. So what does that big picture look like?There are improvements on the desktop as well, including minor interface changes in Explorer and improved multi-monitor support plus privacy and navigation improvements in Internet Explorer.

My very first landing in Hong Kong Kai Tak International Airport (Now closed) on a Boeing B757-200 DHL Aviation (Air Hong Kong). This flight originated from Beijing Capital International Airport (ICAO: ZBAA) a domestic flight i suppose, took off from Beijing at 0912 on runway 18L and ascend to 37,000ft or 11277m above sea level, while the autopilot takes over most of the flight we had some Chinese meals and teas, after 3hrs of slack it's time to get serious time to get ready to land, we expected runway 09 with the world famous right turn approach on finals finals, pior to landing we flew passed Hong Kong downtown and a 270' turn to Kowloon district hovering at 3000ft before doing the famous 20 degree right turn to line up with the runway where every aircraft do when landing in old Kai Tak International Airport, i had checkerboard in sight a little late because of the visibility conditions during that time then ended up landing on the runway a soft touch down on the tarmac then it was the usual "spoilers up reverse" and so we slow down along the runway before a left turn to exit the runway, then taxi to the gate for de-boarding then our 2 days in Hong Kong starts!
