Google planning an offline iPhone app for GMail
February 18, 2009 by james
Google’s GMail is certainly one of the most popular free online e-mail service providers among iPhone owners. And it might become even more popular.
At the Mobile World Congress 2009 expo, Google presented a new app for the iPhone, that will allow you to access your e-mail even when you’re offline. Well, obviously you will only be able to access the e-mails that you’ve received before going offline, but you will also be able to add labels to them.
Additionally, Google is planning to introduce a voice-search app for the iPhone, so when you’ll say “images of Canada in the winter” into your iPhone, a Google image search browser window would open, showing you the results.
It’s unclear when these new apps will be launched. A video demo is available on YouTube courtesy of iPhoneBuzz.
