Google’s new mobile application
Thanksgiving for the mobile set: why pay for mobile email, contacts and calendaring when you can now get it for free from Google ?
While the current, major limitations on the number of supported devices and carriers , as well as the functionality (it’s POP only, for one example, making synchronization challenging), make it the choice for few this holiday season, it’s certainly promising at least for spurring competition and development in mobile data communications. Note one doesn’t need the new app to view Gmail: browse it from most mobile devices using Google’s improved mobile browser .
Rui over at Tao of Mac has a considerate post about the new Google mobile application, summing it up with Google’s doing a good job, if they keep it up they’ll worm their ways into the hearts and minds of millions through the pockets and holsters in which they keep their mobile devices.

You are right! But the problem starts when you must check your other accounts. I often check my mail when I am outdoors and Gmail I one of many. If you have other accounts like Hotmail, or Yahoo mail you will have to install another mail app. That’s why I use Movamail http://movamail.com/ with it I can watch all of my mail accounts including gmail from one place. I don’t know about you but for me all in one sounds great.
