Gmail Java app for mobile phone

From: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/5_essential_mobile_web_apps.php

... this was noted by 18 people in the comments of our original post. This app is a Java-based version of Gmail for mobile, which features IMAP sync, attachment viewing. Phrases that were associated with Gmail for mobile by our readers included: "just works", "simplicity", "functional", "useful", "a joy to use".

Commenter "mr white" said of the Gmail java app: "This *is* clearly the path of the future. All your e-mails, all the time, everywhere. No more tedious synching with this outlook / that outlook and the webmailer. Now bring on calendar and contacts."

Nathan commented: "A very nice frontend onto a very nice service, and it does a rather nice job of reformatting files for the tiny screen. That's the sort of feature you don't actually appreciate until you're out in the countryside with nary a hardline in sight and need an address that was wrapped up in a .doc in your inbox that you forgot to print."

Not just the JAVA App - if you were to browse to Gmail onto the internet from your mobile phone - Gmail usually detects that the device on the other end is a mobile phone and reformats the page for you ....

I too have used it in situations when I 'need(ed) an address that was wrapped up in a .doc in your inbox that you forgot to print.'.
