While messing around with a couple of new ROMs for my Incredible last night, I noticed the Gmail app doing some things I had never seen before up in the header.  It now included a reply/reply to all/forward button in the header which made like instantly awesome.  At first I had brushed it off as some new 2.2 Sense feature that HTC was including, but after seeing another post this morning on the same Gmail amazing-ness, I now get it, and have slapped myself 4 times for not realizing it sooner.

So yeah, we have a new version of Gmail, which seriously, is so amazing.  From the shot above, you can see a couple of the new features listed out:

  • New header design makes it easier to reply or star messages.
  • Performance boost for most features.
  • Lots more cool stuff you’ll love.

Update:  Apparently this has been included in ROMs for a while now, but now stock users can enjoy the tastiness too.

Update 2: I get it people, ROMs had this built in.  You could have at least told me! (hah)

Works on every single on of my devices running Froyo including the DI, Droid X and original Droid.  Yep, your device has to be running Android 2.2.

*Both rooted and non-rooted users enjoy!

Download:  Gmail.v.2.2.1.apk

Install as you would any other application.  Download, tap on it when it finishes, hit install, hit open.
