Official Google Mobile Blog: The Iterative Web App: 'Move' and 'Enhanced Refresh'
Show all
"Last week we released two new features which can save you clicks when using web-based Gmail on an iPhone or Android-powered device. The first one is 'Move', which you can find under 'More' in the Floaty Bar. The 'Move' function lets you label and archive a message in a single step. So as soon as you 'move' a conversation to a certain label, that email will disappear from your Inbox and show up under that label. We introduced this feature to Gmail for your PC earlier this year, and now we're making it available for your mobile phone as well. Another improvement we made is 'Enhanced Refresh.' With this feature, your Gmail inbox auto-refreshes when you switch back to Gmail from another tab or application. And if your phone goes to sleep while Gmail is open, it will refresh when you wake it up. To try out Gmail for mobile, visit gmail.com in your mobile browser. This version of Gmail for mobile supports iPhone/iPod touch OS 2.2.1 or above, as well as all Android-powered devices, and is available in US English only. To make it easy to access your Gmail account, try creating a home screen link." - Susan Beebe from Bookmarklet

You didn't read the facebook page for the app showing where all the new things got moved to beforehand. :P - John Wang
haha no! should of though, busy week... - Susan Beebe
Digging the telephone icon on the contact list - call people directly from Facebook! - Daniel J. Pritchett
oh that is cool! - Susan Beebe
its awesome great job @joehewitt - Isaac Zahavi
very snappy, too - very fast YAY!! - Susan Beebe
Getting used to it! Great update - orionstarr from iPhone
Where is the new app? My iPhone says that all of my apps are up to date, but I don't see that UI. - xero
I just did the same thing. Still says 2.5, but completely new UI. Liking it much better, it's finally useful. - xero
Landscape mode! - orionstarr from iPhone
I agree, diggin' the L.S. mode... - Ron Thompson
I'm barely on Facebook. I only started out there when they purchased our beloved Friendfeed. - JR Holmes
the new FB app is really hot! - Susan Beebe from BuddyFeed
cannot find the new version on app store. wtf? - Cos
Cos, install V2.5 - that is the new version. - Andy Bold
@Andy Bold Thank you mate :) - Cos
Now that I know it's out, I can start fumbling with it. Missed it completely! - Michael Fidler
Cos - no problem. I think I got the original tip from a tweet by @Mona - I've just been spreading the word. #CreditWhereItIsDue - Andy Bold from email
I thinks it's actually pretty intuitive ... I'm also not one to "read the directions" :-) - Don Bonaddio
The app is really cool - Cos from BuddyFeed
I love it, very intuitive. - Kate
it's pretty simple... i didn't find that any fumbling was needed - Chris Heath
I've installed it but can't get it "load my friends." Any ideas on how to solve? - Jim Turner
I love the new design. It's a lot faster and smoother than the old one... - Michel
Jim did you get it to load your friends? it was crashing on me right after i tried to load my friends the first time and i deleted it and re-synched and everything was cool - Chris Heath
Maybe I'll finally move to i3.0 tonight. - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
I can't figure out how to access my Group & Fan Pages - pretty important when you're an Admin of a bunch of 'em! - Susan Beebe from BuddyFeed
::raises hand:: so if a person has their phone number in FB and then it shows up in 3.0 then you can call them eh. Seems like it. Interesting - cheapsuits from iPhone
I'm pretty sure I could call people's numbers from the Android browser's mobile FB web page... - Andrew C
I'm still trying to figure out the regular interface and now you want me to work this crazy thingy? - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge
The iPhone app is vastly easier than the browser version (which I hate). - Drew
This is a typical iPhone app. Though it's a third party app for the iPhone.. It inherits lots of feature of iPhone.. - Mohammad Abdurraafay
TheHenry
that's a VERY big "if" - MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Agreed Clark. It seems that way with most of the cool apps. - TheHenry
Yeah I know. It's like we know now, but we'll have to wait 15 days. - TheHenry
very cool stuff - Sheri Kelly
man, you guys are killing me! I keep thinking it's out every time I see the Dropbox logo :) - metalerik
Very Interesting. - Interwebz 91
Oh please please please Apple. Drop the punk-ass routine and approve this app. - Uche Ogbuji
There was a comment on this post, saying that Apple would deny it, because it is Similar to iDisk. Do you agree? - TheHenry
There are more apps like this, box.net, zumo drive and files lite to name a view. - Willem (@wim66) ☠ from iPhone

UPDATED: Quick App: GPush iPhone Push Notifications for Gmail- ACCEPTED
I like that it doesn't auto open the default mail app. I use the web interface. - Fox
about time - Edgar Rodríguez
oh i see they are having issues, and it was pulled. too bad i wanted to try it. love the gmail web interface - Edgar Rodríguez
TheHenry
I'd use it, but not as much as some people. - Bwana ☠
I would probably only use it once or twice a week. - TheHenry
I email pictures probably 6-8 times a month. I'd use MMS 2-3 times a month - Bwana ☠
I'd much rather have tethering than MMS - TheHenry
I think I've met one (1) person that actually uses MMS regularly. No, I don't miss it - but I believe T-Mobile over here offers it... - Holger Eilhard
I used MMS once. The recipient yelled at me, because he was on AT&T. - The Letter M
Just today someone sent an MMS with picture to my iPhone. You can get the picture, but believe me, it's no fun entering the codes to get it. I'll use it, but probably not much. - Tom Landini
I use it on Rogers but we get dinged .50c per MMS which sucks - Simon Tracey from BuddyFeed
yes, I was on Verizon and thought all carriers had MMS...I find it kind of weird that AT - James
I would use MMS on my iPhone. As other phone users send me MMS messages I have to jump through hoops - username:password on a site that errors out more than not - to get the content. Very annoying, especially when it's pics/vids of my kids on vacation in Cali without me. Give me MMS! - Robert J Taylor from iPhone

The Competition: Microsoft Gives Devs Guide to iCloning iPhone Apps for Windows Mobile - http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2009...
The Competition: Microsoft Gives Devs Guide to iCloning iPhone Apps for Windows Mobile
Smart move! - Michael Fidler
This just an extension of Microsoft's most profitable business model: feed off other platforms' creativity; do plenty of me-too stuff but in a fashion that'll require later handholding and support (thus creating a third-party service aftermarket); sit by the cash register and listen to endle$$ ka-ching! - ianf ⌘
can they do that? - dondepresor
'Course they can. Devs own the core code, Microsoft just provides tools to remake the apps into OSX Cocoa Touch-looky likes except with WIndows Mobile graphic primitives etc. Depending on how much time the developer wants to put into it, the remade app, provided it doesn't use any hardware-dependent functions that are not in iPhone, will look and behave almost the same, though not... more... - ianf ⌘
It is not cloning, it is porting... - attila erbilir
Porting. - Zachary TG
TheHenry
I liked this bit especially: "5% (142 votes) thought that it didn’t matter, since they were outside the US and their carriers handled the iPhone with no problem." - ianf ⌘

I'm really glad I already own this. I am so disappointed with the way Apple is running the app store. - Kisha, Well Conditioned from BuddyFeed
Some People are suggesting that Apple is doing it to get ready for Googles Official App. Which is still wrong to do. - TheHenry
If the internet worked this way there would be like 10 sites on the web. Very short sighted of Apple. - Todd Hoff
I just purchased the GV Mobile app four hours ago, after hesitating for a few days. Now I'm glad I got it when I did. - Nolan Alston
I wonder if Apple/AT&T would do the same if fring added Google Voice support along with its gizmo client. - Rodfather
I really wonder sometimes how it is that Apple is successful? Both these apps were "officially" approved through Apple's review process. Now they turn around months later and pull them? Time for Android. - Kevin Whalen
re: I bought I own it. Not so fast Amazon removed items from the Kindle that were purchased- what is to stop Apple from doing the same thing? - Alyx
And now word is Apple rejected Google's own Voice app: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Kevin Whalen
That is BS. I am sick of AT&T. Apple needs to drop them now! - TheHenry
As soon as my contract is up I'm done. I love my iPhone but my hatred towards AT&T is too much. I'm going Android or BB asap. - Robert DeBord
It does suck. - Kevin Whalen
And I think I blame Apple more than AT&T. They decided to cave. - Kevin Whalen
None of this stuff will reach the mainstream users of the iPhone. It will still sell like hotcakes because frankly, none of them will know that Apple/AT&T is actively screwing them in this way. These are exactly the kind of shenanigans that I got tired of with my first and only iPod (which prompted me to sell the stupid thing and subsequently swear off Apple). Ugh. - Chieze Okoye

That's actually more battery power than I have right now. Pic reminded me that I really need to recharge! - Mike Lewis
This picture matches my battery right now... lol - Dave from BuddyFeed
