Google Mobile

When Google first announced the offline, beta version of its Google Sync tool in February, users were clamoring for push support for Gmail, Google's free e-mail service. Google has now given users what they want.

The Internet search giant released Tuesday its push Gmail support for Google Sync on the iPhone, iPod touch, and Windows Mobile devices. Douglas Gresham, Google Mobile's software engineer, announced the support in an official blog posting.

Google on Tuesday updated its Gmail and Calendar offerings for Apple's iPhone and Android-based mobile devices. When users access Gmail and Calendar through mobile browsers, Google promises an improved experience.

In Gmail, Google has improved the mobile user interface to make it easier to "message on the go." The search giant also unveiled what it is calling a Floaty Bar so common actions -- such as archive and delete -- are only a click away. Messages got a face-lift so labels look more like the Gmail labels users see on a desktop.
