Users currently can access their Gmail messages through mobile browsers or built in email clients, but the new Gmail for Mobile Devices application claims to offer a better user experience.

The software allows users to search their messages, requires fewer clicks to navigate and promises faster access by pre-fetching messages. Attachments also will automatically be resized to fit the device’s screen.

“We realize the role mobile phones play as a key driver for balancing online and offline worlds, and we’re committed to developing products that help people stay connected when they’re away from their computers. Gmail for mobile devices delivers on that commitment,” said Deep Nishar, director of product management at Google.

Users can download the free application directly on their mobile device from a special webpage. The software requires users to provide their own wireless data connection.
