Gmail App for iPhone

Finally, everyone wanted it but no-one made it .. until now! I didn’t like launching Safari, then going to Gmail and surf through it within limited space of the browser. And so I’ve made a full screen App without browser features.

I made it possible with a little cool browser meta feature “apple-mobile-web-app-capable”. To test it yourself go to http://gemstudio.hr/gmail/ and add this bookmark to Home Screen, there’s your Gmail App!

    I like this idea, unfortunately it doesn’t work.

    I don’t know if its OS 3 or what, but gmail is too wide. The iframe looks to be 3 times wider than the screen. That means I have to scroll horizontally, making this otherwise nice idea completely useless.

    It’s OS3 :/
    IFrame works good, but the gmail app goes wider for no reason within iframe.
