Google has recently updated its Gmail mobile Web app, adding a "pull to refresh" feature and support for the Retina display.
The Web app can be accessed in Safari for iOS, at http://mail.google.com. Despite the reliable and advanced built-in iOS Mail app, Google has worked on creating a great Web-based means of accessing Google Mail. If I ever need to search the server for mail messages or view starred mail, I use the Gmail mobile Web app - it works really well, and now the Web app has just got better.
First, Google has added a "pull to refresh" feature. This allows users of the Web app to refresh their inbox by pulling down on the iPhone's screen. And second, Google has added high resolution icons which support the Retina display.
You can take a look at the revamped Gmail Web app by heading over to http://mail.google.com in Safari for iOS. And if you like the updated Web app, let us know in the comments.
