Most of us would know about Gmail app for mobile phones.. It came out first as a java application but works smoothly on most phones

The app has evolved a lot over time.

Interesting features in the current version of the application include

• Multi Account support – you can use the single installation to access gmail and ur google apps for domains email.
• New Basic Offline feature which lets you read your recent email offline
• Offline Drafts – Save email as mobile drafts even if you loose connectivity
• Access contacts with autocomplete
• Jump to Gmail labels
• Search email
• Loads of short cuts
• View attachments including photos , word and pdf files

Well its one of the applications you MUST have if you are a Gmail user ..

Rita has a video review of the app in action on the Nokia E71

Some things we don’t like in the app are

• Can’t view password protected attachments
• Slow
• Cant change from address when composing an email which is possible in web version.
• No bandwidth usage indicator .. Google Maps has it .. why not Gmail ?
• No background alerts
