Well, I have had an Inbox invite, and do you know what? There are 2 versions, one for Android and one for iOS! It's just a phone app! What was all the fuss about?

If only somebody had mentioned this earlier, right? :P

Well, Geek was fulminating about Inbox "replacing Gmail" and I suppose I just went with that (I know, I know!)

Got my invite as well.  As Salmon Trout pointed out there are 2 apps, 1 each for iOS and Android.  However, there is also an app for the Chrome Browser so technically there's 3 apps.

Anyway, it wants to "bundle" or group different emails which I don't really care about.  I'll use it a it to see if it grows on me.

Geek should read more carefully before posting nonsense...

    Gmail is better then hotmail and yahoo mail. I have had many problems with both, but not one yet with gmail. Good thing, its just the app name their changing, I would hate to have to change all account emails associated with my gmail.

    Gmail? Inbox? Inbox by Gmail?
    Whatever you call it, many say they like it better. Some hate it.
    Update:
    Now it comes from Microsoft. What?
    The best Gmail app for the iPhone is now made by Microsoft
    Quote
    Gmail is the world's most popular email service, and the iPhone, as if this week didn't make it abundantly clear, is the world's most popular smartphone. The two have been around for years and years, however the experience of using them together has never been particularly good. *censored*, let's be honest, if you're relying on Google's own email apps on the iPhone, your experience is doubleplusungood. But there are plenty of alternatives in Apple's App Store, and it just so happens that the best among them now bears the name of Microsoft Outlook.
    So the new Gmail is now Outlook?  ???

    Gmail is an email service. You can access it using a web browser, or via a phone app, or using an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird or even good old Eudora as well as many others.
