Archive Gmail Messages on Your iPhone or iPod touch

This tip is from official Gmail blog.
If you keep Mail’s default settings, every email you delete from your iPhone or iPod touch goes to your trash. It makes sense, but if you’re used to the Gmail life, you’re probably thinking “Archive.”

The Official Gmail Blog has published a nice video walkthrough for how to set up Mail to archive instead of delete email from your iPhone. The video itself doesn’t explicitly talk about the whole Delete vs. Archive debacle, but if you set up your account following the method described, deleting a message on your iPhone will place it in your All Mail folder—which is what archiving does. We’ve discussed this change before, but the video offers a nice hold-your-hand approach to making your iPhone email behave more in line with what you’d expect from Gmail.

Large Form iPod Touch Is On The Way

Large Form iPod Touch

Large Form iPod Touch

We’ve got this from three independent sources close to Apple: expect a large screen iPod touch device to be released in the Fall of ‘09, with a 7 or 9 inch screen. Prototypes have been seen and handled by one of our sources, and Apple is talking to OEMs in Asia now about mass production.

Apple has been experimenting internally with large form tablet devices for years, one source says, but there was concern that users wouldn’t like the device. The difference now is the iTunes app store, which has thousands of games and other applications that are perfect for a touch screen device with an accelerometer. Apple says more than 300 million applications have been downloaded since the App Store launched in July 2008. Combine the App Store, iTunes and a browser and you have one heck of a device.

We don’t have any information on pricing. The current iPod touch, with a 3.5 inch screen, starts at $229. The 32 GB model is $399. We expect the price on the larger iPod touch to be significantly higher.

Apple rumors, particularly Apple tablet rumors, tend to come and go. I’m not saying Apple is definitely launching a large form iPod Touch. But sources I trust are saying they are currently planning to, and one source has actually held the device.
