It’s a gala day for Gmail users (cue Groucho Marx: “I don’t think I could handle more than a gal a day.”). Gmail Mobile 1.5 works with all Java-compatible phones and brings much of the functionality of desktop Gmail to your cell. Among the key features of this new release:
- Up to five times faster access and use, thanks to automatic pre-fetching of messages.
- Drastically reduced clicks and scrolling to access e-mail.
- Fewer keystrokes for reading, composing, or searching mail.
- Attachments, including files and photos, viewable and automatically resized to fit your phone.
- Your account automatically stays in sync whether you access it from your PC or your phone.
To run Gmail Mobile 1.5, just point your phone’s browser to gmail.com/app. Download the program, configure your account settings, and you’re good to go. If you want to see it in action, check out Lifehacker’s screenshot tour. [via Google Operating System]
