RIM To Offer Gmail Plug-In Supporting Threaded Email And More
One of the BlackBerry's weaknesses is its inability to support all that Gmail has to offer. My absolute favorite feature of Gmail is the way it presents emails in threaded conversations. Any email that arrives with the same subject heading is lumped into one conversation, and I can easily see all the different parts of that conversation at once no matter when the emails arrive. In order to make up for this, Google provided its own version of Gmail for BlackBerry devices, but it is not powered by RIM's email servers. Rather, its the same simple Web-based app that is available on most feature phones. This app supports threaded email viewing, but its hardly enterprise worthy. Apparently, RIM is looking to appease Gmail users with a new plug-in that just hit the BlackBerry Beta Portal. This plug-in brings some of Gmail's biggest features to the BlackBerry.
