Google Launches Enhanced Gmail WebApp For iPhone And Android, Supports Offline Mailing

It was back in MWC 2009 when google demoed a offline gmail application and now they have finally released all with a upgrade to the Gmail Web App.

Two major features to look out for are :

Offline Mailing

With this feature enabled, whenever you connect to Gmail the mails gets cached/stored in iPhone memory. So, even though there is not internet connection/network reception on iPhone, you can always go ahead and read the emails and compose mails offline. And as soon iPhone finds a healthy reception, its sync all offline content with the online Gmail account. So, lost of time at all .

Floating Menus

Another feature which is worth noticing is floating menus, which will let you perform actions on many items at once. Suppose you want to archive some mails, all you have to do is select the option from the mail and mark the respective mails.
with which you can perform actions archiving

From Gmail blog :

Now, when you go to gmail.com from your iPhone or Android browser, archiving email is quicker because it doesn’t require a response from a remote server. Instead, we cache mail on the device itself (using database storage on the iPhone and a device-local mobile Gears database on Android-powered phones). Actions like archiving or starring messages are first applied to this cache and then sent to Gmail servers in the background whenever a network connection is available. You only have to wait for a response from the server when you’re requesting an uncached message or list of messages. As a result, you can start-up Gmail even if you’re on a slow connection. You can even compose mail and open recently read messages while offline.

Here is the updated Gmail webapp in action :

To experience the new web app, just open the gmail.com in your safari browser and let the fun begin .
