Yes indeed, the Google has released Gmail Mobile r2 to the public. The big hype with this release is that version 2 for J2ME supports the Blackberry. The focus of this release from the team is to make a better, faster, more enjoyable experience for users in some 35 supported languages. Check it out as we load it on a Nokia N95 8GB
From the Google Mobile Blog, the following new functionality comes in Gmail Mobile 2:
Overall performance improvement: You should experience significant raw speed improvement, smoother scrolling, and no freezing.
Multiple accounts management: If you have both a Gmail and Google Apps email account, you can easily switch between them quickly. You will no longer have to use two different mobile apps to access personal and work emails.
Multiple mobile email drafts: You can save multiple email drafts in your mobile phone, so that you can pick and choose what you would like to send later.
Powerful shortcut keys: If you have a QWERTY phone, you can use shortcut keys. Hit 'z' to undo, 'k' to go to a newer conversation, and 'j' to go to an older conversation. See Menu/Help in the app for more shortcuts.
Basic offline support: Can't get a signal? Not a problem. You can compose and read your most recent emails even when there is no signal. Also, any outgoing messages will be saved in the outbox on your phone and sent automatically when you're back in coverage.
