Gmail Native App for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch Is Finally Here

As MG Siegler predicted several days ago, Google has released a native iOS client for Gmail. I've been testing it for several minutes and all the advertised functionality is there, but it's definitely working more slowly than the built-in Mail app.

Granted, I still use an iPhone 3G from a few years ago, but the speed difference is there. This feels like I'm still using the Gmail webapp but repackaged in "native" form. Disappointing, really.

If you want to try it out, the iTunes link is here.

UPDATE: The app has been pulled.
