Google GMail App For Your Phone

Well, just in case accessing your GMail via POP3 with Windows Mobile's Inbox app wasn't enough, or through the specially designed mobile page in Pocket Internet Explorer, or even via RSS feeds in your favorite mobile RSS client, Google has released yet another way to access your GMail on your phone, provided you can run Java.
Archiving an email and viewing 140 emails containing the word "watch."
For reading and replying, I prefer using Inbox because it is simple and straight forward. However this new client is quite handy because you have access to all of your Gmail, not just the last few days. Searching is very fast, you can see threads, you can archive, report spam and more with this client, things Inbox can't handle. If you have the ability to run Java apps on your Windows Mobile device, just go to http://www.gmail.com/app and download the client. As you can see above, it works just fine in the Midlet Manager that comes with the K-Jam over the T-Mobile USA network. :) As an added bonus, when you tap on a link in a message, Google reformats the link to go through their proxy that reformats the page for your device. Once again, Google has released something new and I have to stand back and go "Well, that is just too cool."
