It kind of seems like the ‘new GMail’ that ought
to be native for all devices(the trend is clearly for
that), was galloped by it’s bigger competitor.
...
In fact [GMail] may get even worse since
it’s inception was a mighty web app for email.
No dude, GMail is first and foremost an email service.
What GMail provides is so much bigger than anything a "native" email client can ever accomplish.
I see this mentality coming from developers all the time, but you're really not seeing the forest from the trees.
I also watched the YouTube videos showing the interface in action. This client might actually be great, however I couldn't see anything there to blow me away, just some icons with no labels and I hate icons with no labels (the first thing I did in GMail's new interface was to search for the option that restores labeled buttons).
