Google today announced the Iterative Web App, a series where they will progressively continue to release features for Gmail for mobile. The first update was with the compose interface for gmail on the iPad. You cancheck it out by logging into gmail on your iPad.

Today we’re happy to announce an improved experience for writing emails on Gmail web interface for iPad. When you write an email you’ll now get a big full screen compose window instead of splitting the screen between your inbox and the compose view. More text is visible at once and there are no more distractions with messages on the side. We’ve also fixed problems that prevented scrolling on long messages. Thanks to everyone who reported the issue via the ‘Send feedback’ feature at the bottom of the screen.

Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash

Submitted by Chris on April 29, 2010 - 10:04am

Steve Jobs has written an open letter to customers and critics explaining Apple's reasons for not supporting Flash on their platform. If you were an openly vocal critic, read this to correct your flawed reasoning. Adobe, if I were you, I would take Steve's advice. Here is a snippet:

Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.

The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple’s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 200,000 apps on Apple’s App Store proves that Flash isn’t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to create graphically rich applications, including games.

New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
