1) Technology News: Google offers new email app, Inbox
Google is revamping its email service with a new mobile app it is simply calling Inbox. It is an attempt to reorganise overcrowded inboxes and ensure important emails are not overlooked. Currently the tech giant has invited a select group of Gmail users to try out the new service. Some experts believe it will eventually replace Gmail. "Our biggest rethink of email since Gmail, really excited about Inbox," wrote one Google executive on Google+. Among the main changes, Inbox will:
1. highlight key information from important messages, such as flight itineraries, event information and photographs
2. let users add their own reminders - to pick up dry-cleaning or give parents a call, for example
3. categorise messages - clustering together receipts or bank statements for instance
