Windows Mobile Gmail fans are getting antsy about a known glitch in the mobile e-mail offering that hasn't been fixed by Google in about a month.In October, Google began supporting IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) for Gmail, which means that when mobile users send and receive Gmail e-mail on their mobile phones, their changes are synched, appearing the next time the user accesses Gmail from any device. With POP3, previously the only e-mail protocol supported by Gmail, if a user deleted a Gmail message from their inbox using their cell phone, the message would still appear in the inbox the next time the user logged on to Gmail from their computer.However, shortly after the IMAP capability was activated, users of Windows Mobile phones began complaining in online forums about problems. Some of them said that HTML e-mails showed up blank on their phones. Others said that message headers appeared on their phones but not the messages themselves.The problem appears to affect mainly Windows Mobile users. In late October, one user complained to Google about the problem with Windows Mobile and got a reply saying that Google hadn't had the chance to test the Windows Mobile mail client."Why would Google make this work with the iPhone and not WM devices," another user wrote in the forum after reading the letter that was purportedly from Google. "I would think the WM community is much larger than the iPhone community, and I find it difficult to believe that no one at Google owns or uses a WM device."On Nov. 16, a Google employee posted a note acknowledging the problem. Google has added the issue on its Gmail known issues page, where users can report their experiences. Google says it is working to address the issue.But by Nov. 27, users were beginning to run out of patience. "Google people! The listing on the known issues page hasn't changed in days ... weeks. At least let us know you are working on this. Do you realize, that Gmail IMAP on Windows Mobile in its current state is unusable?" one person wrote.Google did not reply to a question about when the fix might be released.Solving this issue may not be the end of Google's Windows Mobile problems. One blogger says that the Gmail IMAP service dramatically drains the battery on Windows Mobile phones. Todd Ogasawara, a blogger and a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional in mobile devices, ran an informal test on his T-Mobile Dash, a Windows Mobile phone. He watched his battery life drop 4 percent after instructing the phone to synch with the Gmail IMAP server just once. He began looking at the effect of Gmail IMAP on his battery after noticing a dramatic decrease in battery life once he signed up for the Gmail service.Another tech enthusiast and blogger, Josh Smith, said he has noticed that the Gmail IMAP servers are quite slow and that the amount of time it takes to check them from a phone could lead to a drained battery. However, because the messages are coming through blank, he hasn't been using the service enough to notice an impact on battery life on his Windows Mobile phone, he said.The issues highlight the challenges that Google has complained about in working with the mobile industry. Application developers must tweak or write new applications for each handset operating system and often even for different handsets running the same software. Google hopes to solve the problem with its Android mobile platform, which it plans to make available for free and open source. Some mobile experts, however, have suggested that Android may only exacerbate the problem by adding one more platform that developers will have to address.

About 8.3 million U.S. residents -- nearly 4 percent of the nation's population -- were victims of identity theft in 2005, but few victims identified computer-related crime as the culprit, according to a U.S. Federal Trade Commission report released Tuesday.The FTC data, obtained through telephone surveys, found that 56 percent of ID theft victims didn't know how their personal information was stolen. Only 1 percent of victims identified computer hacking as the cause of the ID theft, and another 1 percent identified a computer-based phishing attack, where ID thieves typically send out bogus e-mails that look like they come from banks or retailers and ask for log-in information.Sixteen percent of the victims knew the ID thieves personally, and 7 percent said the data loss came from a purchase or financial transaction, including online, in-person, and mail purchases. Five percent of victims said their data was taken from a company that held their personal information, according to the FTC report."Whether you're from Malibu or Manhattan, Tacoma or Tallahassee, no one is immune to identity theft," Lydia Parnes, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement. "The important thing is that people learn how to deter identity thieves, detect suspicious activity on their financial records, and defend against the crime, should it happen."The FTC, in a similar study, estimated there were about 10 million ID theft victims in the U.S. in 2003. The average amount of money obtained per theft fell as well, from $4,789 in 2003 to $1,882 in 2005.The costs of ID theft varied significantly in the new survey. In more than half of the incidents, the thieves got away with $500 or less, but in 10 percent of the cases, the thieves netted $6,000 or more, the FTC said.In more than half of the cases, the victims incurred no out-of-pocket expenses, but in 10 percent of cases, the victims reported out-of-pocket costs of $1,200 or more.The survey also asked victims to estimate the time they spent clearing up the problems caused by the ID theft. The average was four hours, but about 10 percent of victims spent 55 hours or more, and about 5 percent spent at least 130 hours.Thirty-seven percent of victims reported experiencing problems beyond the time they spent recovering out-of-pocket expenses. The problems included being harassed by debt collectors, being denied new credit, being unable to use existing credit cards, being unable to get loans, having their utilities cut off, being subject to a criminal investigation or civil suit, being arrested, and having difficulties obtaining or accessing bank accounts.Seventeen percent of all ID theft victims said that their personal information was used to open at least one new account. The two most common types of accounts thieves opened were telephone service accounts, reported by 8 percent of victims; and credit card accounts, reported by 7 percent of victims.While 85 percent of the victims reported that one or more of their existing accounts had been misused, 12 percent reported that their information was misused in other ways. Five percent said that their personal information was given to the police when the thief was stopped or charged with a crime. Three percent of victims said that the thief had obtained medical treatment, services, or supplies.The FTC has a publication, "To Buy or Not To Buy: Identity Theft Spawns New Products and Services To Help Minimize Risks," to help consumers evaluate whether they should initiate fraud alerts or credit freezes or buy identity theft products and services such as credit monitoring.The study was conducted through interviews using a random-digit-dialing sampling methodology. More than 4,900 telephone interviews were conducted between March 27 and June 11, 2006.

Emma Clarke, a 36-year-old voice-over specialist whose recorded warning to “mind the gap” is familiar to millions of London Underground riders, was fired after telling the newspaper The Mail on Sunday that she does not use the Tube anymore because it is “dreadful.” Miss Clarke, who has recorded hundreds of announcements for the Tube since 1999, “had done a good job until she started criticizing our service,” Dan Hodges, a London transit spokesman, said, adding, “London Underground is sorry to have to announce that further contracts for Miss Clarke are experiencing severe delays.”.
