Google Beefs Up Gmail Access For U.K. Mobile Users

Google has revamped its Gmail service and launched a new downloadable Gmail mobile email app in the U.K. (the service is known locally as Googlemail), making it possible for users to access email on-the-fly. The service is similar to using Gmail on a PC. It synchs mobile email with web-based Gmail and lets users view attachments such as PDFs and photos on their mobiles. The app is free of charge and users who have a Java-equipped handset can download it here.
