[...] Gmail for mobile devices now 2-3x faster [...]

Agree with you Taylor on the need for a Gmail app update – one of the things thats’s either missing or I just haven’t figured out is how to e-mail to groups. I have a whole bunch of group addresses for various organizations, family, and work related notifications and I can only do that from the web version.

Oh, and one more request for that Gmail app update – multiple accounts – I have gmail, I have google apps under my domain name. I use the phone with google apps and I have to go to the web version for gmail.

Speaking of the web version, it’s slow, it’s slow, and it’s still slow – so what if you’ve made it faster – it went from watching grass grow to watching paint dry speeds.

I don’t know if you have one of the touchscreen only phones, but on ones with a physical keyboard, you can do so by holding the Capitalize key (up arrow) and then either using your finger to select the text, or use scroll ball to select the start point, then press in on the scroll ball to start selecting, then go to the end point and press in again. It’ll be copied to the clipboard, where you can paste it wherever you want.

DYING for an update to the Gmail app. For an open source thing, you’d think there would be many more options, and many more ways to customize it or set your preferences.

And while we’re at it, can we get better Copy/Paste, please? It’s crazy that we can only copy from text input fields. I’m always wanting to pull a quote out of an email or webpage.

I think web apps are great for most situations because devs can reach a wider audience without having to build multiple versions…. but there are some cases that I don’t myself using them…. like Gmail. My biggest use of Gmail is to read emails I get, and the native app gives me notifications. If I only had the web app to rely on, i’d have to constantly be checking the site to see if there are any new emails.

Now if there’s some way a web app could enable notifications, then that’s a different story.

Seems like Gmail loading has been more a problem as they try to add more flair. Is it all worth it on a mobile device? I’d prefer speed.

Thats pretty nice, but my GMail app, still loads my mail up faster than that. But it is nice to know that the mobile web is speeding up.
