5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Useful changes to email-related issues mean messages marked as spam in Mail or Entourage can be ignored, and Address Book and Mail contact groups are supported. With Mac OS X 10.5 expected next month, the Google team has taken steps to make Desktop for Mac more Tiger friendly. Splitting the software's kernel extension into two will "avoid future reboots on Tiger" says the release notes. Several bugs have been fixed, including slow performance when changes are made on a volume not being indexed, or when a file contains an extraordinary number of unique terms. Installing the update "will most likely require a reboot", Google warns.
