Steve Jobs, is a charismatic and an enigmatic visionary of this century, who cast his spell on the entire technology world with his innovative ideas.He brought out the childlike enthusiasm in each one of us through his 3 innovative gadgets : iPod, iPhone and iPad.

Unfortunately, the world has lost this amazing human being on Oct 5th 2011. His creative contributions will be cherished and remembered forever by the entire technology community across the globe. May his soul rest in peace.

On similar lines, our Zoho Projects mobile webapps support for iPhone / Android mobiles (Ofcourse, Blackberry is still in works !) was announced on October 3 2011.

Our Zoho Projects mobile webapp allows you to access all of your projects while on the go. You can stay on top of what's going on like what everyone on the team has been up to - finished tasks, new posts, comments and any other activities from your team.

Moving forward, we've plans to add some uber cool features like milestones, timesheets, forums and more.

GetApp Eval-Source team have done an Independant Analyst Review on Zoho Projects, below are few excerpts from the review.

Zoho Projects is a great tool for organizations that do not have a formal project management office (PMO) or employees with project management (PM) designations, such as certified project manager (PMP).

Zoho Corporation’s main target for the Zoho Projects application is the SMB market, but it does offer scalability for larger firms.

By realizing its market space, Zoho Projects has very tight integration capabilities with Google Apps, thereby allowing organizations to extend PM capabilities from one interface.

Its application provides a common sense approach to creating projects, tasks, scheduling, planning, and collaboration in order to complete a project.

The interface is quite intuitive, and users can customize their own interface by using WSIWYG configuration options. Overall, Zoho Projects is a good small business tool that offers PM capabilities without a steep learning curve.

Put your tasks, timesheets in context with contextual gadgets

At Zoho, we love the concept of contextual integration - which means that you don't need to be switching around apps to do the things you want to do. Instead, the apps and data should be available to you in context.

So, what does that mean for you?

With the new Gmail Contextual Gadgets it easy to manage your projects, tasks, timesheets and more in Zoho Projects. The best part is - all this is done right within your email - without leaving Gmail or your inbox.

The Gmail Contextual gadget allows you to :

Create a project in Zoho Projects from your email
Transform your email into an actionable task in Projects
Convert an intelligent idea sent via an email into a forum
Log working hours in timesheet right from your Gmail

So, how do you get started? Easy ! Here's your video
