Today, Google released an update to its Gmail Android application that offers several bug fixes, improvements, and feature additions. Most notably, the new bits add enhanced priority inbox support, an improved compose workflow, and in-line rely responses. With priority inbox support, users can now see importance markers in the main message list and rank messages right from their device. The new compose feature will allow users to switch between reply, reply all, and forward while in the composition screen, as well as set the outgoing account (should users have more than one Gmail account setup on their device). In-line message replies are fairly self explanatory. The new Gmail application – version 2.3.2 — is available in the Market as we type. Enjoy.

    Anyone else not diggin’ the “Reply” dropdown on the compose screen? When you click it, it just pops up one of those ugly standard Android menus … I dunno, it works fine, but I was expecting something a bit more polished.

    They still need to enable pinch to zoom in gmail. I would like the ability to move a message into an appointment or save to a contact.

    ok, stupid question… how in the world did you find the app? Gmail was already installed on my phone and I can’t find it in the market place. There doesn’t seem to be an upgrade option for it anywhere… so any help would be great for those of you who found it already.
