All New Gmail Featured On Google’s YouTube Channel – Video Promptly Pulled
Although this isn’t directly Android related, I think it would be safe to assume we’re all Gmail users. Well, a video introducing the all new Gmail “user experience” appeared on Google’s YouTube channel yesterday. Apparently, Google wasn’t quite ready to unveil the all new Gmail to the world and promptly pulled the video. Thankfully, it wasn’t before a quick ‘Tuber could mirror the video onto their own channel for the world to gawk over.
The new Gmail UI was introduced a few weeks back in the Preview theme and follows the design we’ve seen from Google services like Google+ and Google Calendar. As far as features go, Gmail will have an all new action bar (similar to what we’ve seen in Ice Cream Sandwich) featuring icons instead of text for options like reply, delete and tags. The conversation interface has seen a revamp as well, displaying profile pictures beside contacts, making it easier to read and identify who is saying what in your conversation.
Google also showed off an all new search box with advanced options as well as a layout that readjusts when resizing the window. Like the Preview theme, the new Gmail will feature various display densities and an option for resizing the chat and labels in the sidebar. Lastly, cane all new “high-definition” themes for Gmail.
All in all, I’d say Google did a bang up job on the new Gmail. Who knew Gmail could be so vastly improved, oh that’s right — Google did. The new Gmail is expected to rollout in the coming weeks but in the meantime, you can check out the pulled YouTube video below.
