Google has made some major improvements to the UI.<\/p>\n<p>First, Gmail mobile now supports labels for your email conversations very much like the desktop version. Now you can add color coded tags to respective emails for managing your inbox while you\u2019re on the go. You can find the Label feature in the new \u201cfloating menu bar\u201d, as I call it, that also has buttons labeled \u201cArchive\u201d, \u201cDelete\u201d, and \u201cMore\u201d. Click on \u201cMore\u201d and select \u201cLabel As\u201d just below \u201cMute\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another new addition is address auto completion of recipients\u2019 names. Now you can simply start typing a name and Gmail will start filling in the name for you.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, my favorite \u2013 keyboard shortcuts. Yes, now you can use keyboard shortcuts if you own an Android phone. Most of the same keyboard shortcuts map the same way they do on the desktop. From the official Gmail blog at Google, &#8220;if you&#8217;re reading an e-mail you can press &#8216;u&#8217; to return to the inbox or &#8216;n&#8217; to move to the next conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, these changes to the iPhone and Adroid platform came at the same time in April 2009 when they completely redesigned their mobile application. This is a change from previous enhancements which came out on the larger target audience of the iPhone first.<br \/>\nThis new Gmail interface is available for iPhone\/iPod Touch with OS 2.2.1 versions and Android-powered devices in U.S. English language only.<\/p>\n<p>Look for more nice tweaks to the mobile version of Gmail in the future and keep listening to the Gmail Podcast to stay up to date on them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_2962\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-207-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chuckchat.com\/gmail\/media\/Gmail-iPhone-And-Android-Enhancements.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chuckchat.com\/gmail\/media\/Gmail-iPhone-And-Android-Enhancements.mp3\">https:\/\/www.chuckchat.com\/gmail\/media\/Gmail-iPhone-And-Android-Enhancements.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chuckchat.com\/gmail\/media\/Gmail-iPhone-And-Android-Enhancements.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/chuckchat.com\/gmail\/?powerpress_pinw=207-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chuckchat.com\/gmail\/media\/Gmail-iPhone-And-Android-Enhancements.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Gmail-iPhone-And-Android-Enhancements.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This episode is brought to you by GotoMyPC.com &#8211; Get your free 30 day trial today!
