Google Launches Gmail Java Application

cool_li | 03 November, 2006 14:13

While access has been available through a WAP site for some time, Google announced a new Java application to access user's Gmail accounts on a mobile phone. The move is aimed at bringing a consistent user experience across mobile devices, and to speed up access to messages and other functionality.

The application allows access to almost all functionality offered by the full web interface on a desktop computer, such as searching and starring mail, a conversation view of messages, as well as the ability to view common attachment formats like PDFs and images right in the application. The Gmail Java application can also pre-fetch unread messages while you are reading your inbox to speed up access significantly. If you have a telephone number stored for a contact in your Gmail address book, you can click on it in a message to call them instantly.

The Gmail Java application can be downloaded by pointing your mobile phone's web browser to http://gmail.com/app. US carrier Sprint has also announced that it will provide direct access to the Gmail WAP site and the download of the Java application right on its Vision and Power Vision home pages.

hartti This is cool, absolutely.
Google has been active on mobile devices already before. Maps have been available for quite some time on mobile devices. See this list of supported devices in here

cool_li Google has been making small pushes into mobile content here and there, most recently with their Personalized Google Page and Gmail for Mobiles, but now we have a dedicated content site: mobile.google.com

The new Gmail app is great, but I have a problem using it with my V800, I get a "certificate not valid" error. I don`t know if I am going to use it or go back to my old and trusty Movamail http://movamail.com/

Please ask Google to add support for more certificates to this service. They currently only support a Verisign Class 3 CA certificate, which is not available on all phones. Some phones do not allow addition of certificates, which excludes those users from using this cool application. The more people that ask Google to add other certificates, the better the chances of something happening.

The new gmail application is a definitely on the right track and it is great to see Google moving further ahead in mobile services.

I found that because the app was in Java it lacked a little integration with usual UI look & feel that I would have liked. So I would also love to see Google bring out a Symbian native version of this app in the future.

FWIW, I use the free Opera Mini browser (http://mini.opera.com/) to access full web version of gmail and avoid the WAP version.

cool_li Google and Symbian team up!
that's great idea, I think it will come true in the future.

too bad they keep your login and password in plain text on the file system though.

I really do not know what's the fuss about Gmail mobile... at best i would summarize it has indeed a simplified and clean user interface, but the pre-fetch and the address book lookup is no big deal... i bet you do not the inbox DO NOT cache downloaded or opened emails, it only stores/caches a fixed no. of emails in its INBOX. As for contacts, the moment you quit, try accessing the address book again, it HAS to fetch and query the server yet again...

All these do not argur well if you are not on a flat fee data tariff.

Certificate

Mikko | 03/12/2007, 13:45

I tried to inform Google about that their web-server doesn't have right mime-type for certificate downloads. This causes that S40 phones won't be able to download certificate from google's servers.
I made little certificate download-page to my home linux-server.
So if you have problems with gmail app certificate, go to http://tilu.homelinux.net with your phones browser and download.
