Internet Giant Google on Thursday announced that it has launched a new release of Gmail for Mobile. The Gmail for Mobile 2.0 designed to be faster and said to more reliable in low signal areas and to support basic offline access on J2ME-supported phones like the Nokia N95, Sony Ericsson W910i, and BlackBerry Curve.

Additionally the new version of Gmail for mobile allows you to access multiple Gmail or Google Apps email accounts from the same application. See the video from Google below to get to know the new Gmail for Mobile 2.0 version.

Gmail for Mobile 2.0 offers the option to save multiple e-mail drafts in the phone and adds shortcut keys that enable users of phones equipped with QWERTY keyboards to press ‘z’ to undo, ‘k’ to go to a newer conversation, and ‘j’ to go to an older conversation.

As an added bonus, for those who won’t find themselves in signal range, the updated Gmail for Mobile boasts offline support, and lets users compose and read e-mail when there is no signal. All outgoing messages written when a user is offline are saved in the outbox and sent automatically when coverage is restored.
