iGoogle Gmail gadget

Hi,

I have been setting up my iGoogle page so its useable from the N800 and indeed any other machine I login on. However, I see that the Gmail gadget does not seem to work on the N800 - it says something like "service temporarily unavailable" but works fine on my PC/PS3/Laptop etc...

Does anyone have a solution for this? Obviously I can just go directly to Gmail itself and its fine but I like the idea of having everything I use on the same iGoogle page...

And while I am here - its not possible to shrink iGoogle pages to two columns instead of three is it? :rolleyes:

cheers all!!! :-)

All my other gadgets work well though, news, share graphs, local weather, local cinema listings, msn messenger, currency converter, calculator etc etc.

If you only want two columns you can drag the gadgets around the screen to position them where you want and in whatever order you want them but you need to do that on a desktop and the setting will be saved for next time you use your N800

Using Igoogle with the messenger gadget or using msn web-messenger is another option that works for using messenger on the N800.

Ah OK I tried this but the gadgets still only take up the equivalent of 2 columns - i.e. they dont stretch out to fill the screen. I just get two columns that are the same size as when there were 3... did you get round this problem?

Re: iGoogle Gmail gadget

Talking about your perfect startscreen: an iGoogle-like startscreen for the N800 would really give the device a boost. (And we could finally get rid of that nasty RSS-reader that comes built in)

But with this rss reader you can read the rss offline ;)

When you're lucky, yes. But when you're not, the message itself is unreadable offline. :)

Both display correctly on my iGoogle page using the new browser with the engine set to MicroB.

Google Reader also works fine on my iGoogle . Although on the actual Google Reader page there is the option of 'offline' viewing, I have yet to figure out how to install / repackage the required 'gears-linux-opt.xpi' extension.

Re: iGoogle Gmail gadget

can someone test turning off the n800 with the RSS reader still open and tell me if all of the feeds just disappear
