Google apps for iOS are being slowly but surely updated by Mountain View, and today the Gmail for iOS app was updated to give users the option to open links in Chrome for iOS instead of Apple’s Safari browser. The update moves Google towards providing Google Apps users an ecosystem within the bigger iOS ecosystem at a time when Apple is actively working to push Google services out the door. They got rid of YouTube in the latest iOS 6 beta, and iOS 6 will also see the end of Google Maps built into iOS.

If you are interested in the new Gmail application, you can download the updated version on the App Store.
