Google revamps Gmail for the iPad

Since the iPad has been released into the hands of the eager public for about 3 hours now, some of you may be reading this on an iPad right now.
If you are here’s another instance of Google showing the iPad a little love.
On its Mobile Blog yesterday the company announced a revamped version of its Gmail e-mail client built from HTML5 that takes advantage of the the iPad’s large screen and touch interface. Take a look.
As you can see, it’s a two-pane view with all your conversations on the left and your messages on the right. In fact, it looks a whole lot like the standalone Mail app that comes with the iPad.
To access the new site simply point your iPad’s browser to gmail.com like usual. And Google suggests using the Web app instead of Apple’s Mail app. As a Gmail user, I would do this if it weren’t for the Mail app’s instant notifications when I receive a new mail. I’ll try both though and see which one I like better.
Good to see Google embracing the new platform.
