Google Hosted App vs. Gmail

I switched over to Gmail from Yahoo Mail years ago and I moved to a Google Hosted App soon after. I have been using it for quite some time but I am thinking it may be time to switch back to Gmail.

  • Both are pretty much the same technology and interface
  • To use Google Reader I need to use my Gmail Google Account
  • I can’t import my contacts into any web service since most only offer Gmail/YMail/Hotmail options
  • Gmail gets new features before Hosted
  • Hosted is handy to create sub-accounts for my domain but I don’t tend to use this

Granted, I don’t know of any way to merge my two accounts and it’s always a pain to have archives floating in different places. Something to look into.
