Google tweaks Gmail on iPhone, iPod for always-on UI

Gmail for iPhone gets always ready UI


Google today rolled out an update to Gmail today that modifies the interface for iPhone and iPod touch owners. Its change swaps out the old floating toolbars, which only appeared at the end of a scroll, in favor of a fixed set of bars that stay during the entire scroll. The simple change makes it easier to rapidly delete or flag messages on the smaller screen.

The design's scroll speed is also faster and now moves proportionately with the flick gesture itself. Gmail's new interface needs the newer web code from iOS 4 and is currently only available in English, though other languages are promised for later.

    web?

    Does anyone actually use the web-interface on the iPhone? Why not use the internal Mail app?

    because

    Any number of reasons.

    1) Speed and search are faster in the web interface
    2) Quicker access to labels and triaging messages into multiple labels
    3) Using a different From: address when replying to a message without having to duplicate the exact same effing email account to have an "Email Personality" function like Mail.app has on the desktop
