Article: Google Rumored To Release Native iOS Gmail App Soon

The Exchange account version is still not that great. Sure it pushes instantly but any exchange account uses more battery. It always has. If Apple would just add IMAP Idle then we could get Push but its Apple...

The contacts feature I stay away from since Google can't keep your contact pictures full size when it syncs them. It lowers the quality down to like 100x100 which is small and then syncs those tiny pics back. When somebody calls it won't be a full screen pic anymore.

Not available in the UK. Bummer.

I didn't think this would ever be approved - thought the whole reason there wasn't a Gmail app was because of Apple's "no duplicating our functionality" policy.

Then you loose the ability to delete mail (it just gets archived).


That shouldn't be possible, would you mind posting a screenshot?

I personally have exchange sync for push, and added the account a second time on IMAP for deleting messages. I sure wouldn't mind an interface that allows me to properly manage a gmail inbox that isn't as slow as the web app.

But you can change the settings, can't remember if I did it on the phone or gmail.com, but I can delete my mail normally now.

Seems to have been removed.

Google unleashed a new Gmail app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users Wednesday, but it pulled it within a few hours after consumer backlash.

"The iOS app we launched today contained a bug with notifications," the company posted on its Gmail's Twitter account. "We have pulled the app to fix the problem. Sorry we messed up."
