Web-based GMail for iPhone now features an auto-expanding compose box

Google has updated the web-based version of GMail for iPhone. The update is simple (yet useful) – GMail now features auto-expanding compose box.

If you’ve been using web-based GMail on your iPhone/iPod Touch, you’ve certainly noticed that compose box doesn’t scroll to show you the complete message. On Android-powered devices there’s a trackball or a D-pad (new Moto devices) which you can use to scroll through your message. But that’s not the case with the iPhone, hence Google tweaked the code and voila… now you can flick to scroll the message box.

It’s good to see Google constantly adding tweaks here and there to its popular email service. Hopefully, they’ll soon update it even more to better sing along the upcoming WVGA touchscreen-equipped Android devices. ;)
