New Version 2.0 of Gmail

Good news. If you have some reasons never use your phone for email pehaps because there were any decent apps and the screen was so small. The new version 2.0 of Gmail, introduced by Google, for Mobile for BlackBerry and mobile phones that support J2MEMaybe will help you on the way. Besides thet new version 2.0 is available in over 35 languages and that is great and provides the following features at the Google Mobile Blog:

- Overall performance improvement: You should experience significant raw speed improvement, smoother scrolling, and no freezing.

- Multiple accounts management: If you have both a Gmail and Google Apps email account, you can easily switch between them quickly. You will no longer have to use two different mobile apps to access personal and work emails.

- Multiple mobile email drafts: You can save multiple email drafts in your mobile phone, so that you can pick and choose what you would like to send later.

- Powerful shortcut keys: If you have a QWERTY phone, you can use shortcut keys. Hit ‘z’ to undo, ‘k’ to go to a newer conversation, and ‘j’ to go to an older conversation. See Menu/Help in the app for more shortcuts.

- Basic offline support: Can’t get a signal? Not a problem. You can compose and read your most recent emails even when there is no signal. Also, any outgoing messages will be saved in the outbox on your phone and sent automatically when you’re back in coverage.
The new version of Gmail for Mobile can be downloaded by going to m.google.com/mail from your mobile browser. It sounds like great, isn’t it? Google once angain dominating the mobile world.
