New Version of Gmail for MobileSafari

Brett Lider, for Google:

Go to gmail.com from your iPhone and you’ll notice two improvements we’ve rolled out over the past few weeks. First, scrolling is snappier: the speed of scrolling reflects the speed of your swipe gesture. This is helpful for long conversations where a few quick flicks will get you to the information you need much faster than before. Second, the toolbars stay on screen while you’re scrolling rather than moving down into view after each scroll.

The scrolling is great. Worth checking out on both the iPhone and iPad — very strong work. (Why specify Arial instead of Helvetica, though?)
