GMail app back in the AppStore

The GMail team has announced that the GMail app is back in the Apple AppStore. It was pulled out because Google spotted a bug in the notification system, which has now been fixed, so the app is available again for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad (iOS 4+).

Google says that this is only the beginning for the iOS GMail app, and that the development team will continue to add new features going forward. Note that if you are already using the GMail app from Nov 2, you must log out before re-installing it.

If you have missed the GMail app launch completely, the new GMail app was introduced on Nov 2, and featured a clean interface that is consistent with Google’s overall new design language. The user interface was also optimized for touch devices, which means that everything is sized to be finger-friendly.

Google Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
