Google debuts Gmail for mobile 2.0

Google introduced Gmail for mobile 2.0, promising faster, more reliable email services across J2ME and BlackBerry devices including the Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson W910i and BlackBerry Curve. According to the Google Mobile Blog, Gmail for mobile 2.0 boasts a completely rearchitected client that pushes all processing chores to the background, improving the client-side caching scheme--the new version enables users to access multiple Gmail or Google Apps email accounts from the same application as well as save multiple mobile email drafts. Improved offline support means users may also compose and read emails even out of network coverage range, with any outgoing messages saved in the outbox for automatic transmission when the signal is restored. Google also introduced new shortcut keys for devices with Qwerty keyboards. The web services giant adds that Gmail for mobile 2.0 is available in 35 languages.
