GMDesk, Great Little App

I’ve just stumbled across GMDesk, a great little app which uses Adobe Air to give you access to all your Google Apps (GMail, Reader, Docs, Picasa etc.) through one place on your desctop without having to open up a browser.

Its a great idea and I hope it continues to be developed and refined as there are a couple of issues with it at the moment.

The font size in GMail is a little small at present, but it is being worked on so I would expect there to be a solution at some point in the future.
Has a problem allowing you to access apps if you have them on your own domain (I’m not particulary sure how this works as I don’t use it, it works ok for standard users).
Suffers a little from memory eatage, but again this should be resolved fairly soon.

All that has to be done now is for it to be made protable so it runs off a pen drive and you have basically your whole Google experience with you in your pocket wherever you may go. (I realise that you have that anyway and you just have to log in wherever you are, but making it portable would be pretty cool.)
