If you are anything like me, your Gmail app went into the (not on this iPhone) column a few months after you downloaded it. It’s slow, IMAP at times is no better than POP, and sometimes just opening the app presents a challenge. Spinning icon anyone?

But good Gmail times may be here at last as the email app has been updated today, bringing with it some of the best attributes of Sparrow, the IOS leader in 3rd party email apps that was acquired by Google. A new look, stronger Google Apps integration, bugs fixes a nice list of little gems that should be fun discovering while in general use.

So if you’ve been itching to put your gmail app back into the (All) column, today is the day!
