Google for iPhone gets a make over

Christian Decker wrote this terribly early in the morning:
When checking Google for iPhone earlier today and, surprise, it was heavily improved. The new Gmail interface is incredibly intuitive to use and just feels right. The only thing that isn’t perfect is the way you access tags and folders through the “menu”-button on the top which is a bit couterintuitive, the rest is just fine.
Another major improvement is that now you can bookmark the tab you are in, so now we jump right into gmail or the reader application, bypassing the search screen which is pretty useless for iPhones anyway because they have a search bar next to the address field.
The reader hasn’t changed too much and my wish hasn’t been granted: images still aren’t resized to fit the screen size so big images still break the layout.
The calendar now is nice too. The day and month view are perfect to get a quick overview of tasks and appointments, but why oh why can’t I add or edit entries? It wouldnt have been that hard to add that feature, would it?
