Interesting; it appears that the best interface for browsing Gmail is only available on the iPad (for now).

Steve will be pleased.

Well, you can always set your user agent in Safari to:

  Mozilla/5.0(iPad; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B314 Safari/531.21.10

and experience the new layout. To do this, just go to Develop -> User Agent -> Other...

Or you can use the iPad simulator (if you have the SDK).

Now if only they'd port this interface to standard GMail.

This is probably done by matching against the UA string, so you can probably spoof it. Anybody know for sure?

I admire Google's ability to provide so many specialized views to GMail. There's one for the Android application (which, realistically, just syncs information and store it locally for display), one for the iPhone/Android in a browser, one for desktop Browsers (+ basic HTML), one for mobile (non-awesome) browsers (+ basic HTML), now one for the iPad, and of course POP3 / IMAP for use with native mail clients.

They've really covered all the bases here.
