Today Google launched a portable version of its Gmail email service, providing users access to their Gmail accounts directly from their mobile devices. Through the free service, emails are automatically synchronized between cell phones and computer accounts, regardless where Gmail is accessed from.

Providing optimal viewing window sizes by detecting the type of device being using, Gmail Mobile allows users comfortable view of attached photos and documents on their phone. Furthermore, users can reply-by-call to contacts whose phone numbers are stored in their Gmail account.

Gmail Mobile is a free service and works on most U.S. web-enabled phones; however data rates may apply when accessing the web. Additional details on the mobile email service can be accessed at http://m.gmail.com from a handheld.
