Google releases official Gmail app for iOS
Share:
The UI of the Gmail app, especially on an iPad, looks a lot like the new web UI that Google launched for Gmail yesterday, which makes it easy to find your way around. The Gmail app also offers all the standard features that you'd expect like searching your entire inbox, push notifications, autocompletion of e-mail addresses, and organizational tools with full use of labels, stars, archive, delete and spam reporting.
Google has even added in some gestures to make navigation a little smoother. You can pull down on your inbox to refresh, and swipe to the right to get a list of all your labels without switching away from your inbox. Overall, it looks like a pretty nice app, and it definitely offers a solid amount of Google options for those looking for more control compared to the standard iOS Mail app.
Gmail for iOS requires iOS 4+ and is available for free in the iTunes App Store.

App looks good...waiting for update on my android...push notification is already available on iOS for gmail. Instead of using Gmail option mail client use exchange option and you gmail user and pwd. When it ask for server enter m.google.com...there you go...now you can sync your gmail contacts too :)

Google has a responsibility to its users, some of which don't use Android devices. This gives those users a better experience than the stock Mail app. Simple as that. It's not like Google is adding all the fancy new maps features into iOS anymore.

Sorry didn't mean to thumbs up you meant to respond. Was saying Apple will eventually burn that bridge.. I don't care if someone paid to punch me in the face everyday even if I benefited from it. Eventually it would piss me off... And id cut ties lol.
