A while back we reviewed a useful Outlook and WebMail plug-in, SenderOK. At that time the program merely worked as an extension and also did not support Outlook 2010. The developers have decided to take a leap further by changing the name to EmailTray and making it independent software that runs in the system tray. It’s main purposes is that of an email notifier, where it checks multiple accounts at the same time and notifies the user of new emails. However, now it does even more, sorting emails and having its own user interface. Read More

If you just got your pre-ordered T-Mobile G2 / HTC Desire Z and were in an awe due to it’s incredible processing speed and user experience, then there are some more things to get awed about.

The bench mark scores after overclocking the G2 have been identified as the best so far among rival Android phones such as Galaxy S, Desire etc. With Vision OC Kernel, you can even go beyond 1.42 GHz, but we will recommended not doing it as it might cause your phone to die of a freeze attack. So, let’s keep it a bit “super” modest for now and we will, hopefully, overclock it to deliver even higher speeds when we have a more comprehensive OC kernel in hand. Read More
