I sincerely hope MG’s right about this one.  The lackluster Gmail experience on iPhone is one of my chief complaints about living on iOS so far,  so I’m really pumped for this.  Especially if the app exhibits some of Google’s new minimal-readable design sense (which I would expect it to).

Ever since I bought the original iPhone in 2007, there’s been one app above all others that I’ve been sorely missing: Gmail. Of course, back then, there were no native third-party apps. But a year later, when those came, Gmail was still nowhere to be found. 

At first, the talk was that Apple wasn’t going to allow another mail app on their device. Then it was that Google was simply focusing on the mobile web (they’ve had a pretty good mobile web version of Gmail for a while). Then it was the strained (to put it mildly) relationship between Google and Apple. Still, other Google iPhone apps came. But never a Gmail one.

Until now.
