Mobile Gmail goes 2.0 for J2ME and BlackBerry phones


Right about this time last year, Google updated its mobile Gmail client to be leaner, meaner and altogether more awesome. Now, we're looking at version 2.0 of the app for use with J2ME-supported and BlackBerry phones. The team behind it rethought how mobile users interacted with Gmail, and they attempted to provide solutions for each instance in which your connection may be spotty. Furthermore, the entire client was made to operate faster and be more reliable than ever, and there's even support for keypad shortcuts, multiple drafts, undo, 35 languages and background mail sending. Hop on past the break for a demo vid, or better yet, just point your handset to m.google.com/mail and have a look for yourself.

Google puts mobile Gmail on a diet

Frustrated with mobile Gmail eating up all your kilobytes? If so, we have some good news for you as Google has upgraded the app. Available now, the software has been streamlined to consume half as much data as before, reducing the amount of time needed to send and receive emails as well as accessing labels. Other improvements include better search and desktop synchronization -- so all told, we'd say it's a worthy download if you're already using version one.

KDDI to roll out Gmail-based mobile email

We're not sure why people wouldn't just... you know, use Gmail, but Japan's KDDI is working with Google to roll out a customized version of the ubiquitous email service for subscribers of its au brand. Called "au one mail," a prototype getting passed around last week showed a mobile interface virtually indistinguishable from its Gmail doppelganger -- except, of course, for the KDDI au branding. Like Gmail, au one mail will be accessible from both phones and desktops; we reckon that's a good thing, though we're still not really understanding the value proposition. At any rate, look for it to launch at no charge to subscribers some time next month.
