Finally, finally the Gmail experience on iPhone won’t suck. Ex-TechCruncher (full-time anyway) Paris Lemon claims multiple sources are saying an official iOS Gmail app is nearing public release. Obviously it will have push notifications. In fact, as Paris states, the lack of Push Notifications had been the single biggest roadblock for Google. Now that that’s settled, other functionality such as true message flagging, one-click starring, Priority Inbox, and plenty more can steal the show. Of course, one thing Google isn’t so great at is…iOS apps. They tend to be stuffed with just as many bugs (if not more) as features and are quite ugly. *Cough* Google+ iOS app. *Cough*. But hey. We’re not going to be too harsh on el Goog just yet as we have yet to actually see what this rumored iOS GMail app looks like, what features it brings to the table, or how reliable it actually is.

If Mr. Lemon’s sources are correct, the email experience as we know it on the iPhone could become very different, and for the better. We. Are. Excited. You?

Oh, one more thing. All of this excitement hinges on Apple. If they feel it encroaches on Mail.app too much, it’s ban hammer time. Then again, Apple has gotten pretty lax with music players, camera replacements, and 3rd party browsers…
