Finally, the official Gmail lite

Google has just launched Gmail Mobile, a simplified XHTML interface for mobile phone with browsers. According to their Help Center:

Gmail Mobile lets you access your Gmail account from your mobile phone. Just enter http://m.gmail.com in your phone’s web browser to log in to your account.

Gmail Mobile offers a number of cool features:

• The interface is automatically optimized for the phone you’re using
• You can access attachments, including photos, Microsoft Word documents, and .pdf files
• If you enter phone numbers in your Gmail Contacts list, you can reply to messages by call

You can try it yourself by entering this URL: http://m.gmail.com

Does it mark an end to the gmail-lite/gmail-mobile projects? Not really.

• We will continue our maintenance of libgmailer, the PHP API for accessing Gmail, until, of course, they provide an official one, which I think is unlikely.
• Neerav’s gmail-mobile project sure won’t be stopped: its targets are WAP phones using WML, not HTML/XHTML.
• Some people might already get used to gmail-lite’s interface? Anyway, I believe Google folks would agree that it’s better for users to have choices.

Now, honestly, I am kind of excited. Google is now our "competitor"! That would be quite a challenge to make people to think that ours is even better than the official one, which is from Google!
