Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the release of an innovative new mobile client, Gmail for mobile devices. This freely downloadable Java application delivers Gmail users the look and feel of Gmail through a fast, feature-rich interface that's optimized for handheld devices. With the release of this client, Google is taking one more step toward its goal of providing users with quick and easy access to the information they need, when they need it.

[google.com...]

From your mobile, go to [google.com...] and download the app. a gmail account is obviously required.

I'm so happy to see them using "mobile.google.com" instead of "www.google.mobi". Sends the right message out that we don't need all these ridiculous new domain extensions when we can use perfectly good subdomains.

Good work Google.
