Google to launch iOS compatible Gmail app

Google is planing another strategic move to better serve Apple device users with a new approach. A completely new Gmail app fro iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch which will offer completely new features, far better than what is currently available with web app only. This app will be highly customized to work with Mobile Safari. This rumor comes from more than one source and therefore it could be said that it is for real and it will probably happen quite soon. The app was probably already submitted to Apple for reviewing. If Apple approves the new Gmail app, it should be available for download in the App Store quite soon.
