Google's Email app hits the Play Store
63
Google clearly likes to break things out of Android and put them onto Google Play. We've seen it before, more than once, even, and tonight we're seeing it done again with the "stock" email app (quotes intended). It's the same email app anyone with KitKat would recognize, and the only devices that can install it already have "stock" KitKat installed — specifically Nexus devices and...

Gmail updated with actionable notifications for Jelly Bean users

Google has just updated its Gmail app to include new actionable notifications for incoming email on devices running Jelly Bean.

Since being introduced in Android 4.1, actionable notifications have been seemingly underutilized compared to...
Gmail for Android – A Complete Walkthrough

According to our not-so-scientific poll taken this time last year, chances are good that if you’re reading this then you use Android’s Gmail app. The latest update to Gmail bumped it up to version 4.2.2, adding some useful new features like swipe to delete, as well as the long awaited pinch to zoom.

Microsoft launches new Outlook.com email app with old design
9
Microsoft has just released a new version of its email app to coincide with its overall email rebranding to Outlook.com from Hotmail.com today. While the app brings a lot of features that Outlook users will like -- ActiveSync, Contacts and Calendar sync, multiple account support -- it is wrapped up in a very bland and outdated design that reminds us all of Android 2.3. We had high hopes...

Google Voice has offered the ability to block unwanted calls for quite some time now, but not everyone wants to transfer their phone number to that service. Recently the folks at YouMail have updated both Visual Voicemail...
Late-night poll: Do you use the Gmail app?
100
Gmail is one of Google's best products for many of us. Personally, if my computer or smartphone is on, Gmail is running either in a browser window or through a mail client, and while using an Android device it's the first app I set up. It's very well done on Android, and overall it's the best and most reliable way I've found to get my mail. But not everybody is like I am. During the...

YouMail yanked from Android Market
14
The beloved visual voicemail app YouMail has been pulled from the Android Market, which eplains the big "URL was not found" that sits in the place where the app formerly occupied.

It appears that T-Mobile cried foul,...

What that means is...
NTP sues Google, HTC, Motorola, and everyone else in latest infringment suit

NTP is once again suing over patents they hold for the wireless collection of e-mail data, charging Google, Motorola, HTC, LG, Microsoft and Apple with infringement.

Many of you will remember the drawn out affair between NTP and RIM, which ended in 2006 with a mega-million dollar judgment in NTP's favor, or...
