"Today we're introducing a major revision to Gmail for mobile that takes advantage of the latest browser technology available on iPhone and Android devices. We've updated the user interface, made it faster to open messages, allowed for batch actions (like archiving multiple messages at once), and added some basic offline support"

Rolling out to all accounts now...

I like the name "floaty bar"

Hmm, gmail.com won't load on my android at all for some reason. Other sites load fine, so it's not my network connection. Maybe it's not rolled out to my account yet?

Floaty bar: the best feature name since Maps added floaty balls.

It would be great if the Android Gmail app got a similar facelift, since I doubt I would use this site over the native app. Guess Google's left hand isn't talking to the right.

Ah, gmail.com finally loaded. Slick, but mobile web apps, even with gears, can't come close to equaling native apps on android yet. Loading the new version of gmail in my android browser (by hitting refresh after already loading the page once), it took 15 seconds to display my inbox. Opening the andriod gmail app, it only takes ~4s from a cold start, and less than 1s from a warm start (re-opening the app after having used it a couple minutes earlier).

Its really good. Like it alot.
- Roberto Bonini
Works really well. Now if I can use that on the native gmail on iPhone...

@daniel, the Android Gmail app did get a face lift, its awesome, you can run the magic firmware on your G1, it has a sort of floaty bar in it and it way faster than the dream gmail app, if you want to learn how to get the latest build, head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr...

This is quite amazing. Been using it all day instead of mail. Sometimes I'll use mail to know new stuff has come in but the Gmail interface is so much more fluid and easy to use. Labels make it pretty nice too!
- Brandon Titus
Lovely! Please also show floaty bar after I send a message.
