Only because webmail is not “web browsing”

May 15, 2006 by in Apple,Tech with 1 Comment

I’m not entirely sold on the real value of having a dedicated “browser” for accessing Gmail, but if you can think it, make it, and distribute it, there will definitely be followers.

Webmail is really a separate application. When I’m visiting GMail, I’m checking mail, not browsing the web. So what’s so bad about using a browser for this?

All it does is load GMail in a nice big window and duck out of your way. No location bar. And no bookmarks.

Are there any OSX users that find themselves wondering why they’re not utilizing a standalone browser specifically for Gmail?

    I don’t really see that point, but then again I don’t use email *that* much and even less my gmail account. What I do really rely on is Pandora and the little WebKit based stand-alone player called PandoraMan. It’s a great app, it even has Growl support! I wouldn’t live without!
