Close'n Forget Removes All Traces Of The Site You're On Apple’s releasing some hot new features in iPhone 3.0 mid-year, but will it be better than Google’s Android? Let’s take a look.
The iPhone event just ended, and the upcoming iPhone 3.0 software update adds a ton of new functionality to the iPhone—claiming over 100 new features, including long-awaited copy and paste, MMS messaging, and more.
Microsoft recently announced POP3 support for all Hotmail users, finally freeing your email to be used anywhere—even from the vastly superior Gmail. Over at the How-To Geek site (my other home), the Mysticgeek blog walks through the process of setting up Hotmail access using Gmail’s POP3 checking capability—including sending email using your Hotmail email address directly from Gmail. The setup process is fairly simple and nothing to new to most Lifehacker readers, but it’s a great guide to send to your less tech-savvy friends and relatives to help them consolidate their email into a single inbox. Hit the link for the full walk-through, then check out how to use Gmail’s multiple inboxes to manage multiple addresses, or you can always just use Gmail’s email switching tools.

Windows only: The built-in tool for dealing with unknown file types in Windows simply doesn’t work. Openwith.org does, and it points you, or your less free-software-savvy friends, to downloads that fit the bill. If you’ve ever received an urgent email reply (or phone call, or text message) from a parent, friend, co-worker, or anyone else who needs “HELP!” because “this file won’t open when I double-click!”—you’ve turned to the right download.
