The good news is that I have a iPod Touch, so I don’t need to carry my laptop as often.  I use the iPod Touch built-in Mail, Calendar app to sync with Gmail, Google Calendar respectively, and use some 3rd-party app like RSS Runner to sync with Google Reader, but their interfaces are not as familiar nor as integrated as the Google Mobile App.  Unfortunately, the Wifi coverage is still low and obviously the buzzing 3G won’t do any good to an iPod.  To make matters worse, Google Gears does not support iPhone / iPod Touch!  It is said “Gears is available for Windows, Windows Mobile (IE Mobile, Opera Mobile), Mac (Firefox, Safari), Linux and Android.”  Yearh right, everywhere except iPhone / iPod Touch.

I’m just about to search for an iPhone application that can sync with Google Tasks, and hopping that Google Gears will be available for iPhone / iPod Touch soon.
