Re: Google Reader Desktop client
There is one more Adobe AIR program known as GMDesk that it rolls up several of Google’s services into one convenient program. It allows you to run Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Maps as a stand-alone application to do all your mail handling, calendar event reading etc with. The fonts in Gmail are kind of small and awkward to read. and you can only have one window open at a time.When you run the program for the first time it will feel just like you’re using the Google services in your web browser.It offers an easy menu as well as keyboard shortcuts to switch between different Google services, and you can specify what default service you want the application to start with.That way it’s easy to switch between them.

Download GMdesk
