A new rumor has appeared in the Web concerning of joining of Google and Apple forces, well, it could bring all famous Google’s online applications like Gmail, Docs, Calendar into Apple iPhone. Recently Google has launched improved Gmail interface for iPhone.
The update includes more configurable labels and views. For example, you can see your Drafts and Spam boxes, you know in case you need some personal enhancement products. Or if a friend sent you a message that was accidentally marked as spam.

Another amazing app called iGmail - it is Ruby on Rails application which name speaks for itself.

iGmail is a simple interface of your Gmail inbox, designed for the iPhone’s native screen. You can try this app from their demo website. In this demo site, your login details are not stored. They are saved in a cookie of your iPhone. But, this server is not powerful (sometimes it’s very slow). Although it’s not encrypted. If you concern about security, please check out codes from my svn repository and build your own server.

iGmail is very cool app, but it is definitely missing a lot of important features like the current Todo list, contacts management, JKeyboard use.

And of course you will need your web server to run this application. Step-by-step instructions on how to setup iGmail:

1. Setup rails environment
2. checkout application $ svn co http://www.naan.net/svn/trunk/igmail

3. run app with WEBrick or lighttpd.
