New Gmail App for iPhone missed the mark for me

Read Googles blog post about their new app here: Introducing the Gmail app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Don’t get me wrong, the app is really nice. It performs perfectly and is much like the browser version on a computer. It is much like the G+ App with it sleek design and ease of use.

Try it, if you have 1 or a primary account. You might just like it.
