Software : Gmail 2.0 for iPhone and iPad out now

---

Gmail 2.0 for iPhone and iPad out now Posted: It took Google six months, but the G-team announced Tuesday that Gmail version 2.0 is now ready for iOS. The updated iPhone and iPad app provides a "totally new look and feel," the company explained in a Gmail blog post, one that's faster, sleeker and easier than before. Among the improvements are profile pictures in messages, new animations from swivels to transitions and infinite scrolling in message lists. Google also added something users have clamored for: multiple account support. Now up to five Gmail accounts are accessible from the login menu. All it takes is a couple of taps to hop to another account. Time saver Quick typers should appreciate Gmail's new autocomplete predictions in search, while those tired of exiting the app to +1 or comment on Google+ accounts can now do it within the app. Users can also RSVP to Calendar invites. The update comes one day after Gmail version 4.2.1 rolled out for Android, bringing with it features like auto-fit options, pinch to zoom, a swipe command to either archive or delete messages and the ability to attach phone-captured videos. Gmail 2.0 is up for grabs in the App Store now.

Google pushes out Gmail 4.2.1 for Android 4.0 and up Posted: Google launched Gmail 4.2.1 for Android Monday, rolling out a bunch of features that really take the application to another level. For starters, the update has an "auto-fit" option that automatically resizes messages to fit the screen, while Gmailers can also pinch to zoom for a closer look. Archiving and deleting messages is as easy as a brushing a finger along the screen. Swiping either left or right archives emails straight from the Inbox, while changing the option in the "Swiping conversation list" turns the motion into a delete command. As for image improvements, 4.2.1 provides thumbnails of photo attachments users can view directly in the message. When an image is tapped, a photo gallery pops up that users can browse through for individual image viewing. Get it now As if all that wasn't enough, Google has finally added the ability to attach phone-captured videos to messages. The update is only available to devices with Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich and higher, and is currently ready for install through Google Play. Based on user feedback thus far, version 4.2.1 hits all the right notes...though not, as of yet, one that sings iOS.
