Google rolls out Gmail 2.0 for iPhone and iPad

Gmail iOS 2.0

Gmail version 2.0: Google just released a major update to its Gmail iOS app,  introducing multiple account support, a new look that appears to be partly inspired by its Sparrow acquisition, search predictions, and much more. The update also brings interactive Google+ posts support, an infinite scroll inbox, new welcome screen, and the ability to respond to Google Calendar invites. Google walked through some of the new features of the overhauled Gmail app in a blog post, and it noted the app was six months in the works:

Six months ago, our team set out to completely rebuild the Gmail app for iPhone and iPad to give you you a faster, sleeker, and easier experience on iOS. The result? Version 2.0. With version 2.0 of the app, you’ll get a totally new look and feel, plus a bunch of improvements like profile pictures in messages, numerous new animations from swivels to transitions and infinite scrolling in the message lists.
