Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Like a nice game of bowling, Google keeps setting ‘em up and knocking ‘em down. The latest was today’s announcement of taking Gmail mobile. In today’s press release, Google explained that:
This freely downloadable Java application which will deliver Gmail to users through a fast, feature-rich interface that’s optimized for handheld devices….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
- 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
I went on line via my new Blackberry 8703e and the tool automatically detected the device. I downloaded the app, entered my id and password and bam! I was good to go. I now have a crips clean window into my Gmail account. Very cool.
Just another way that Gmail continues to innovate.

Yea! Movamail is getting better and better every day. I love it!
But there is only one problem if you have other accounts like Hotmail, Yahoo mail….
You end up installing 5 different mail app. That’s why I use Movamail http://movamail.com/. It combines all of your mail accounts in one place it woks great.
