Introducing the Gmail app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

(Cross posted on the Official Gmail Blog and Google Enterprise Blog)

Posted by Matthew Izatt, Product Manager

Waiting. Walking. Watching TV. Working out. Winding down. Waking up. We check email pretty much everywhere these days. And when we do, we want easy access to our important messages so we can respond quickly and get back to life -- or slinging birds at thieving green pigs.

With that in mind, we’ve created a new Gmail app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. We’ve combined your favorite features from the Gmail mobile web app and iOS into one app so you can be more productive on the go. It’s designed to be fast, efficient and take full advantage of the touchscreen and notification capabilities of your device. And it’s one more reason to switch to Gmail.

Speed
We want to give you the information you need quickly, with minimal effort and distraction. So we’ve included some time-saving features:

• Get alerted to new messages with push notifications and sounds
• Find an email in seconds with search across your entire inbox
• Autocomplete email addresses from your Gmail contacts or select from your device’s address book
• Upload photos with a click using the new attachment button in compose view
• On iPad, navigate your inbox and read your mail simultaneously with split view

Upload photos	Reply, move, label and more

Efficiency
Our inboxes overflow with dozens and even hundreds of messages a day—and this can be even more challenging on a smaller screen. The new Gmail app helps organize your mail so you don’t have to go wading through your inbox to find that key message from your boss or loved one:

• Focus on your important messages first with Priority Inbox
• Quickly scan countless emails on the same subject with threaded conversations
• Organize your mail by archiving, labelling, starring, deleting and reporting spam

Threaded conversations on the iPad

Touch
We’ve also optimized the interface so you can perform common actions in Gmail with the lightest touch:

• Pull down your inbox to rapidly refresh if you’re eager for new mail
• Swipe right to view your labels without ever leaving your inbox
• Swiftly scroll through dozens of emails just by sliding your finger

Pull down to refresh	Swipe right to view labels

We hope the Gmail app makes checking email on the go a little easier. It is available in the App Store today and works on all devices running iOS 4+. For more information, check out our help center.

Update: 11/16/11 On 11/2 we launched a new Gmail app for iOS but after finding a bug removed the app from the App Store. Starting today, the Gmail app is now available again.

iPad 2 VS Galaxy Tab 10.1 Full Review

Who not be aware of iPad, a tablet phenomenal selling well. Tablet from Apple that the lengthy queues everywhere. apple ipad 2, which grew to become his successor can also be selling like pancakes. Then it doesn't mean there's no competition whatsoever.

Samsung like a new vendor to create pills this past year, lots of people started to rage. In Indonesia alone, named version from the Galaxy's first in a commercial sense effective enough. Samsung isn't just quiet, lately smartphone vendor increasing also produce pills with similar size because the rival apple ipad 2, that is 10 inches. The merchandise, known as Universe Tab 10.1 also offers two dualcore processors.

Then in the two pills which is much better?

Share within this time around, I don't take sides on any tablet. I happened to two tablet customers. After using bbrp time, you will find weak points go into the particular pills, either the ten.1 or even the iPad Tab 2.

Design, Hardware and Dimensions - DRAW

Glimpse in to the two pills is comparable to each other. But when you are feeling it immediately, it seems the main difference is very tolerable.

Listed here are pictures from the dimensions and design between 2 and Tab iPad 10.1

Dimensional specifications for that 2 pills the following:

Visible Tab 10.1 thinner and lighter compared to apple ipad 2.

Apple Ipad 2 more boxes the screen having a screen ratio of four:3 whereas 10.1 Tab to the widescreen.

With dimensions which are thinner and lighter in weight, much more comfortable grasp Tab 10.1, introduced everywhere as well as in make the bag. However the slight difference isn't a large problem.

Elegant Design - apple ipad 2 WIN

Many are not convinced using the material for Tab 10.1 made from plastic. As the apple ipad 2 uses aluminum material that's stated to more elegant. However I think the material isn't visible tabs 10.1 cheap, grey bandage about the back affiliate with a whitened design makes this tablet is very elegant.

Although apple ipad 2 looks more elegant, however with material like aluminum that a little afraid to make use of it without additional casing bandage. Aluminum in the iPad method is indeed susceptible dent so it should be extra careful using.

Speaker - Tab 10.1 WIN

apple ipad 2 outfitted having a speaker that huge when in comparison using the first version. While you will find 2 loudspeakers tab about the right 10.1 and left. If all of this I attempt, the speaker from the Tab 1.10 much better than the apple ipad 2. Furthermore, the positioning from the right and left plus features to create the Tab 10.1 5.1 surround more lively to hear music and video.

Speaker apple ipad 2

Speaker Tab 10.1 (You will find 2 right and left)

Multimedia - Tab 10.1 WIN

Video Playback

apple ipad 2: 720p H264

Tab 10.1: 1080p

Audio 5.1 Multichannel Audio

apple ipad 2: Must make use of a digital Audio-video plugs

Tab 10.1: Completely from the loudspeakers

Because the large sail, both pills are needed for use like a multimedia device. Watching videos about the 2 device is very comfortable to look at a relevant video, not to mention supported HD format. Tab includes a 10.1 widescreen display along with a bigger than apple ipad 2, well suited for watching the film box office, mostly Wide format.

In the clearness of seem, to 2 pills were equally in a position to show a obvious seem. However the 5.1 multichannel audio system are only able to run in Tab 1.10 since it has two loudspeakers about the right and left.

Screen - DRAW

Having a 9.7 inch display size apple ipad 2 continues to be just like its predecessor having a resolution of 1024 x768 While using the a widescreen 10.1 Tab typical cinema and it has a rather better resolution with 1280 x 800px. Concerning the resolution, both pills looks balanced, apple ipad 2 uses Insolvency practitioners technology on its Brought type display, when using the Tab 10.1 WXGA widescreen display.

For me, Tab 01.10 more simple to use watch movies online, since the screen is lcd screen reply.

Camera & Video - Tab 10.1 WIN

apple ipad 2: .3 Mega pixel front camera, rear camera .7 mega pixel, 720p video

Tab 10.1: front camera 2 Mega pixel, 3 Mega pixel kemara rear, 720p video

Tab camera has 10.1 megapixel resolution 3 about the front and a pair of-megapixel camera about the back. As the apple ipad 2 still uses .7 megapixel resolution for that front, and .3 mega pixel vga camera in order to the leading.

Video recorder to 2 pills is every bit able to 720p HD incorporated within the category.

10.1 Tab obvious victory from the camera.

Comparation See chart below:

Notices - Tab 10.1 WIN

apple ipad 2: Pop-up, and notification about the icon

Tab 10.1: Notification bars

Here you go the weak spot of IOS. Notification about the apple ipad 2 isn't collected in one location. Notifikasinya way too hard to determine. Only marked using the logo design of the number above each application. When the application continues to be a little still not really a large problem, let's say the applying has arrived at the 3rd page and so forth, I am sure you may never discover the latest notification in your apple ipad 2.

So far, the Notification on Android is among the best among all mobile OS. Notices are collected and indicated by perfect at the end from the Universe Tab 10.1 is. It is a quite different notification Honeycomb Android Tab 10.1 is by using Android Smartphone that is usually placed above.

Having a perfect notification, you won't ever miss any messages received.

Browser - Tab 10.01

When it comes to browser tabs 10.1 advance since it already supports Expensive Player. With expensive you may enjoy video on the web apart from Youtube, play expensive games or expensive berdesign open an internet site.

Few speed, to its 2 have nearly exactly the same speed.

10.1 About the tab went pretty easily when opening expensive games at Facebook or Viwawa. It cannot run well about the first generation tab.

Browse the video compare the next browsers. (To Two pills already about the 'Clear Cache' prior to the race)

Video Call - DRAW

apple ipad 2: The face-time, Wi-fi compatability Only

Tab 10.1: Gtalk, 3rd generation & Wi-fi compatability

The face-time apple ipad 2 includes a perfect application. The face-time about the iPad comes with an excellent degree of stability, isn't interrupted even when you open another application. It appears that Apple is deliberately making The face-time is definitely running without anyone's knowledge. However for competitors, you'll want an apple ipad 2, 4 apple iphone, ipod device Touch 4 or perhaps a The face-time placed on your Mac laptop, it has to purchase a The face-time Appstorenya. Furthermore The face-time need to take Wi-fi compatability for connecting video calls and doesn't run when utilizing 3rd generation.

While Tab 10.1 Gtalk being an application depending Video call. Same goes with the face-time, video call with gtalk is definitely running without anyone's knowledge the whole time. Tasty, Gtalk on Tab 10.1 can interact with anybody who's using Gtalk or Gmail. Your buddies could make video calls from the gmail within the browser without needing to install programs and free,

Gtalk look into Tab 10.1 superior here, but regrettably very few smartphone or device that supports Gtalk Video call. But with time, Gtalk video call may be used more crowded than The face-time, not to mention Google also switches into an identical video calls.

Application - apple ipad 2 Win

apple ipad 2: 100rb Programs

Tab 10.1: <500 applications


Like a man who was a baby compared to the adult, that's the image comparison application in Tab 10.1 and iPad 2. Applications Tab 10.1 is still fairly small compared to the application on the iPad 100rb 2.

I admit iPad 2 has a myriad of quality and interesting applications in marketnya. How does almost all mobile developers must make an application for IOS iPad 2. Greater income would be a major factor developers chose a soft place like the Apple store.
While the Android platform Honeycomb in adopsikan to Tab 10.1 is still relatively very small. Although Android application has already reached hundreds of thousands, but the application is not optimized for large sailing Android tablets. A matter of time only, if the tablet android boom, of course, the developers vying to upgrade the look of their apps.

Synchronization - Tab 10.1 Win

iPad 2: iTunes USB
Tab 10.1: Samsung Kies, Mass Storage via wifi and USB

Synchronization on the iPad 2 is required to use iTunes as the source. Sometimes this makes it inconvenient to transfer data. Conversely 10.1 tabs more flexible by using software Samsung Kies and can also be used as Mass Storage.

Internet Tethering - Tab 10.1 Win

iPad 2: Not Support
Tab 10.1: Wifi and USB tethering

Again again iPad 2 does not have the features favored by many users. iPad 2 does not have the ability to share the Internet, either USB cable or wifi. While Android Tab 10.1 already has the ability to use USB tethering and Wifi.

With the ability to share the internet you can share the Internet to other devices. Moreover, the two tablets are already supporting 3G, simply subscribe to an Internet package to be able to share to all other wifi devices. Certainly more efficient is not it?.

One more thing, the battery capacity to 2 tablets at a very qualified to do tethering all day without fear of running out of battery.

Performance and Graphics - DRAW

iPad 2: Processor 1 Ghz dualcore chip A5, PowerVR GPU
Tab 10.1: 1 GHz dualcore processor NVIDIA Tegra 2

To 2 tablets of this sama2 brain using 2 processors. A5 iPad 2 uses a chip with a speed of 1 GHz Dual core, while Tab 10.1 using NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor technology with a core clock speed and the same.

iPad 2 uses 512 MB of RAM while the Tab 10.1 at 1 GHz. Tabs seem to have 1.10 RAM 2 times larger.

The graph on the iPad using PowerVR chips while Tab 10.1 SGX543MP2 GPU using NVIDIA Tegra 2.

Personalization - Tab 10.1 WIN

For those who like mengoprek, both from the side view and the system would have loved Tab 10.1. Honeycomb Android OS on 01/10 Tab allows to beautify your homescreen. Widgets, live wallpapers, and themes can be changed easily in Tab 10.1. You no longer bored with the look of your homescreen that that's it.





Conversely, you can not make any changes to your homescreen iPad 2.

Game - iPad 2 WIN

Who does not know the game in the IOS. To the extent that many who buy iPad just for playing games. Naturally, almost all game developers would make games for IOS. Even the console game developers playstation, xbox and pc are the focus of making games for IOS. I am sure of the number of applications 100rb, gaming applications dominate.

Whereas only 10.1 Tab because it still has a handful of new games.

Speed ??to open the message - Tab 10.1 WIN

I do not like to use iPad two frequent loading times, connecting the first time when opening the application. For example, there is new mail, in IOS iPad 2, emails do not appear instantly in the email list because they have to be downloaded in advance, although have got notifikasinya. It is also common in many chat applications, social networking, etc.. Ditwitter For example, mention the newly accepted, can not directly open a snap when opening twitter. Again, loading and waiting. : (

Of course there is also a disputed this, although the performance iPad 2 fairly quickly. But in cases like this IOS looks too much thinking. It does not happen in the Android Tab 10.1 fast display a message, email or the latest tweet.

Usage & Multitasking - DRAW

IOS famous use is still easy to surpass the convenience factor. Even users are not required to understand the system thoroughly to keep it running smoothly. IOS does not run all applications in the background. Although claimed to be multitasking, but in fact the multitasking on the iPad 2 is still not 100% pure. But it can be patched with the stability of the OS from Apple.





Instead Android OS on Tab 10.1 Multitasking really pure. You can open many applications, and jumping to another application, without any change in your work. But do not blame if it runs out of RAM on Android. You must be a little difficult to install the application task killer returns of RAM or close an application to the Android system is not running slow. Not a problem for many people, there is also a disputed tp.

3G connectivity - DRAW

iPad 2: UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA
Tab 10.1: 21 HSPA, GSM / EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
iPad 2: WiFi 802.11 b / g / n Dual band, Bluetooth 3.1 EDR
Tab 10.1: WiFi 802.11 b / g / n Dual band, Bluetooth 3.0
iPad 2: microSIM
Tab 10.1: Standard SIMcard

Both iPad and Tab has 10.1 full connectivity. However, Tab 10.1 21 already supports HSPA technology that supports data connectivity up to 21 mbps. While HSDPA on the iPad 2 only supports up to 7.2 mbps.

21 HSPA unfortunately still not maximal is used in Indonesia. So I think the two tablets have the same advantages.

Batteries - DRAW

iPad 2: 6930 mAh, claimed to stand for 10 Hours
Tab 10.1: 6800 mAh, claimed to stand for 9 hours
No doubt the 2 tablet has a long battery life with the large capacities of these. It is difficult to ascertain how long a battery life when used. Heavy usage such as playing games, watching videos is draining the battery. However, if used only for browsing, playing music, email and chat this tablet can last all day.

Price - iPad 2 WIN

3G 16GB iPad 2: 5.5 jt (U.S. Store)
Tab 10.1 16GB 3G: 6 jt

In conclusion:

Both 2 and Tab 10.1 iPad have their respective advantages. It all depends on the needs and tastes of each. For example, if you're a lover of games, iPad 2 is indeed the only choice. But if you like chatting, browsing and email flash content, perhaps better Tab 10.1. For that select the device as needed is the right answer. So much from me.

Three new updates to Google Sync for iPhone and iPad

(Cross-posted on the Google Enterprise Blog)

We don’t have to tell you that the workforce is increasingly mobile, and that workers on the go expect to be fully productive on email and calendar from their mobile devices. But we do want to tell you that we have a few new features for Google Sync users that will help employees work efficiently from anywhere on their iPhones and iPads.

Google Sync keeps your phone’s native mail and calendar apps in sync with your Gmail, Calendar and Contacts. Today, three new updates to Google Sync for iOS will allow you to:

• Search all your emails in Gmail, not just the emails stored locally by the iOS mail app.
  
  
  
  
• Accept, decline or edit calendar events from the iOS calendar app.
  
  
• Send email from the address you want. We recognize that some of you manage multiple email addresses from a single Gmail account.Gmail’s “Send Mail as” feature lets you send messages with another email address listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address, e.g. joe@altostrat.com instead of joe@gmail.com. Now the iOS mail app will respect these settings.

These three updates are available to both Gmail and Google Apps email accounts.

Google Voice app now supports iPad & iPod Touch

(cross-posted from the Google Voice Blog)

Since we launched Google Voice for iPhone a few weeks ago, we’ve been hard at work to add a few improvements that didn’t make it into the first release.

At the top of the list was adding support for iPod Touch and iPad. Starting today, you can download a new version of Google Voice that lets you use all the features of the app on these devices, such as sending and receiving free text messages - except, of course, make cellular calls.

While you can’t use your iPod or iPad as a phone, you can use it to initiate Google Voice calls with your phones. We call this feature Click2Call. Simply click any ‘Call’ button in the Google Voice app on your iPod or iPad and then select which of your phones you want to ring. Google Voice will call your phone and then connect your call.

While we were at it, we also made a few other improvements to the app:

• When you enable Push Notifications, we will automatically disable Text forwarding for you, so you won’t receive multiple notifications.
• Want some quiet time? You can send all callers straight to voicemail by turning on Do not disturb in the Settings tab.
• We made it easier for you to place calls from the address book by adding a dedicated Contacts button to the Dialer tab.
• Sending text messages is now more streamlined since you don’t need to press the OK button anymore.

Bonus Tip: Tap and hold messages in your inbox to archive or delete them.

The Google Voice app is available to download from the Apple App Store today. You’ll need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 3.1 or later and a valid Google Voice account to use the app. At this time, Google Voice is available in the U.S. only.

The Iterative Web App: New Stacked Cards Interface for Gmail on iPad.

In April 2009, we announced a new version of Gmail for mobile for iOS and Android. Among the improvements was a complete redesign of the web application's underlying code, which allows us to more rapidly develop and release new features that users have been asking for, as explained in our first post. Today’s topic for the The Iterative Web App, a series where we continue to release features for Gmail for mobile, is the Stacked Cards Interface on the iPad.

When we announced our new interface for Gmail on the iPad, we requested feedback on how we could improve this experience for tablet devices. In June, we responded with a new compose screen. Today, we’re addressing the top feedback by launching a new “stacked card” interface for selecting and managing multiple conversations.



In the past, performing actions on selected conversations was awkward. There were two similar toolbars on the screen: one on the bottom left and the other on the top right. The former affected the selected conversations, while the latter affected the currently open conversation. Since the toolbars’ buttons looked similar, it was easy to mistakenly use the wrong toolbar. Sound confusing? It was.

In the new interface, selected conversations are displayed stacked on the right panel for easy organizing, archiving or deleting. The second toolbar is gone so it’s always clear which conversations you’re working with.

This new interface has also been an opportunity for our team to experiment with CSS3 transitions, which give mobile web applications a similar look and feel to native applications. More details on the implementation are posted on the code blog.

To try the Gmail webapp on the iPad, just go to gmail.com in Safari. For quick access, create a homescreen link. Please note that the new interface is only available in US English for now.

Google Mobile App for iPad now available in the App Store

We’re pleased to announce that a new iPad-friendly version of Google Mobile App is now available in the App Store worldwide. By “iPad-friendly”, we mean that this new version has been designed to show neatly on the iPad’s screen, and that the usual features of Google Mobile App for iPhone, like search by voice and My Location, work well. From the Apps tab, you can also easily navigate to Google’s web-based apps, such as Gmail, which was recently optimized for iPad.

While this first version of Google Mobile App for iPad is essentially the same app we’ve built for iPhone, we’re working on improving Google Mobile App so that it takes advantage of iPad’s features. Stay tuned as we continue to make it and other Google products even better on this new type of device.

To download Google Mobile App to your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch (requires OS 3.0 or higher), search for “Google Mobile App” in the App Store or just visit http://itunes.com/app/googlemobileapp.

Google services on the iPad and tablet computers

Here at Google we’re really excited about the promise of tablet computers, which will be great for browsing the web and using apps. We’ve been working hard to optimize our services for the new format - larger touchscreens, increased portability, rich sensors - and we’d like to share some information about our progress so far.

While surfing the web on your iPad, we expect many of you will want to check your Gmail. If you go to gmail.com in your browser, you’ll see something different than what you’re used to on the desktop. We’re releasing an experimental user interface for the iPad built on the Gmail for mobile HTML5 web app that we launched last year for the iPhone and Android devices. Those devices have large screens compared to other phones, and tablets like the iPad give us even more room to innovate. To take advantage of the iPad’s large display, we’ve created a two-pane view with your list of conversations on the left and messages to the right.


To try this new interface, go to gmail.com in your browser. We recommend adding a homescreen link for easy access. As this interface is experimental, expect changes as we continue to develop and optimize. Also, please let us know any ideas or feedback that you have. You can also access Gmail on the iPad through the native Mail app using the IMAP protocol.

Additionally, the iPad ships with a number of Google services pre-installed. As with Mac computers and the iPhone, you’ll find Google Search in the top right corner of Safari. The YouTube app for iPad is built-in, so you can watch HD videos and read and write comments. The new Maps app on iPad takes advantage of high-resolution satellite and Street View imagery, includes a new terrain view, and lets you search for local businesses and get directions. Just like on the iPhone, you can also go to the App Store to download Google Mobile App with search by voice. Of course, Google Mobile App was originally designed for the iPhone’s screen dimensions, but we’ve adapted it to work on the iPad and we’re looking into new ideas to make the app even better.

As you use Google’s web-based applications on iPad, you’ll notice that you sometimes see the desktop user interface and other times you see the mobile interface. We’ve evaluated the behavior of each Google web app using the iPad Simulator, and we are serving the interface we feel works best. If you’d like any help using our products on iPad, please click the 'Help' link within the product.

We’re particularly excited by how tablet computers create the opportunity for new kinds of user interaction. Here on the mobile team, we often talk about how mobile devices are sensor-rich: they can sense touch through their screens, see with a camera, hear through a microphone, and they know where they are with GPS. The same holds true for tablet computers, and we’re just starting to work through how our products can become even better on devices like the iPad.
