Gmail, Google's take on the email system
Quickly becoming the standard by which all email clients are measured, Gmail was around long before Android. Starting in 2004 as a web-based email service with a fresh design and drastically more online storage than its competitors, Gmail took over as an email service with incredible mind share. With the launch of the HTC G1 in 2008, having a Gmail account took on new meaning as your window to connect to all services around Android and Google. We've come a long way since the G1, but Gmail is still an immenselyintegral part of the Google ecosystem.
Even as Google has branched out to include dozens of services to be tied to what is now a "Google Account", the popular vernacular of referring to "my Gmail account" remains. Google prides itself on making Android devices a fantastic platform for integrating and managing email that comes to your Gmail account, particularly by staying up-to-date with new design and features for the app as Android is updated. Shortly after each new version of Android is released, Gmail is one of the first apps to follow-up the OS update with a new design. In keeping with the times, Google has periodically added new features such as increased storage and integration with other Google apps.
Above you can see a video walkthrough of the latest major revision of the Gmail for Android app, version 4.5. You can also find more stories about Gmail below.
