Thanks for the heads up andrew, you left so quick I couldn’t even say Hi.

Gmail users can already access their accounts through the browser on their mobile devices, but this application brings users the same great Gmail experience — complete with search, conversation view, and automatic synchronization with the desktop version — with the following new benefits:

  • Up to five times faster access and use, thanks to automatic pre-fetching of messages
  • Drastically reduced clicks and scrolling to access email
  • Fewer keystrokes for reading, composing, or searching mail
  • Attachments, including files and photos, viewable and automatically resized to fit the user’s phone

An application for email by Google that increases teh usability of gmail on your mobile, one step ahead of the other free email ‘competition’, here goes…

Getting started is easy: users can go to gmail.com/app from their mobile browser to download the app.

Andrew, post a comment so Your Web AddiCT(s); know who you are, TYFYC in advance.

    C’est moi! I didn’t have much time, but thought I send the link on, and had been looking for an excuse to try out Meebo for a while now. Sorry for not hanging around…
    Started using the Gmail app already, and I have to say, I’m impressed. I’m sure we can expect a version of Google Reader soon as well. Difficult to keep up with these Google guys.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

  2. TYFYC Andrew – I actually read this comment last night using the Gmail app. It is good if you do not have a proper browser on your phone. Havent had any problems with the default browser on my N70. This could also be another way for Google to display advertising with their custom Gmail app…?
