It seems clear to me that it is easy for your IT department to read your email by dumping the tcp traffic from your machine. Unless told otherwise Gmail uses http. Http is not secure or encrypted. You need https for that.

I also believe that it would be very simple to copy the C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Plugin Data\Google Gears\mail.google.com or the C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\74d61f9f.Default User\Google Gears for Firefox\mail.google.com to another machine and open the browser and perform the sync. I may try this later, but I doubt you are prompted for a password. Am I mistaken?

Clearly I am not alone in wondering what Dell is thinking. They cannot beat the iphone. The iphone has what people want. They will not innovate, because they are trying to save money. Innovation means research and development. It seems unlikely in this climate a black box pc manufacturer will sink costs there. I am at a lost for this copy cat move.

Does anybody remember the Dell DJ? What about the Dell Ditty? Either does Dell I guess. Dell is going to enter the smart phone arena. I am going to predict that moves ends the same way as the Dell DJ. Dell does not innovate like Apple. That is just the fact. They try to copy Apple and for the most part do a poor job at it.
