Google Mobile Countries

- I like to use the m.gmail.com page when checking my email quickly on a computer without having to load the full javascript interface of gmail.

I heard that Google’s UK/London offices do mobile development work for Google mostly.
Because “Europe is ahead of the US by light years when it comes to wireless technology.” — Nikesh Arora, VP of European operations
also said mobile engineering will play a key part in the London labs’ future, as will developing localised products. [1]
So, if UK is ahead of US, and SA (South Africa) is ahead of UK [2], then that makes South Africa way ahead of the USA.

Features available

Unfortunately the LG KG800 isn’t capable of supporting the “Photo Capture”, “Moola topup”, “File access”, and “SMS out” features. This is because the phone doesn’t support the necessary Java APIs to make these features available in MXit.

The version of MXit which is currently available for the LG KG800 offers as many MXit features as possible for the phone.

If you are, you can always try this fix which is used for the MXit app for your phone:

It is similar to installing a new application on a PC, you need to reboot.
