Sent is a Gmail App for iPhone that Gets Things Right, But Not Perfect

by Oliver Haslam on Nov 20, 2011

It seems like iOS Gmail apps are a little bit like London buses: you wait an hour for one, and then three come along at once. Two notable Gmail apps have entered the App Store as of late.

by Sebastien on Nov 2, 2011
