Native Gmail App Coming Soon?
MG Siegler reports that Google is preparing to finally launch a native application for Gmail. This is great news as even though the Gmail web app is one of the best web apps, we've been waiting for Google to launch a native Gmail app.
According to Siegler, the native Gmail app will include features such as Push Notification, Priority Inbox and one-click starring of messages and may also come with contact icons, better threading, and deep searching functionality.

Finally.

Agreed. This was one of the only reasons I had considered switching to Android last month before I settled in the 4s.

Gmail was working fine using ios's native email app, setup as exchange using active sync. I switched to an @me account anyway.

Nice to see Google finally going native on iOS. Follow us to see what email we're about to unveil on iOS! @SolidMail on Twitter

But the Mail app is good enough!

no its not

I agree. The mail app needs archive support via the Exchange interface along with starring and labeling and maybe integrated gchat and google voice as well.

If you use Microsoft Exchange on your iPhone you can have your gmail pushed to your phone

You can setup gmail with push using the Exchange setup, i love all of my emails in the native mail app. What google should release is a Google Talk app.

Isn't ImailG their native app? It been out for ages...

Gmail, set up as Exchange, on any iPhone does give you push email. Additionally, with the new operating system, OS5, you can set up notifications to give you an alert the moment you get an email. You can also search for old emails. The only problem is that the "delete" doesn't really delete. It archives instead - eating up your valuable gmail space.
