probably same priority as apple store on the ipad
A few things aside, I'm pretty sure that Apple intended for the Apple Store app to satisfy those using mobile devices with smaller screens (ie. IPhone, iPod Touch) rather than the iPad which has a larger screen and can browse the online store in the browser easily.
Realized today that Google got rid of "push" email (using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync) in Gmail, so the native iOS Mail app doesn't notify of emails in real-timecan only be set to check mail at 15-, 30-minute, etc. intervals). Had to download the Gmail app.
Basically ditched iOS Mail and replaced it with Gmail on my home screen dock.

Google has been schooling Apple (and its users) in exactly how reliant they are on Google's services.

Sad.
CalDAV or CardDAV, none of that really gives you push notifications or offline access to Gmail (compared to what the native iOS Mail app does when connected to Gmail via Exchange)....or I could have meant that Apple has no design consistency in their own app.

and Contacts.
not impressed with GMail app
One feature that I like better about the native Mail app that I don't see in the GMail app is that you can double tap a paragraph within the body of an email and it will resize the text appropriately. For the lack of that simple of a feature, the GMail app is useless to me. Am I missing something?

That's unfortunate. Unfortunately, I am bound to an exchange account until I graduate with my Master's. thanks for the info.
who knows. their laziness in updating a few apps and some disastrous decisions like the usability of the app store nothing surprises me with them
is the apple store website on an ipad any better than amazon or imdb (obviously everchanging that one)?
What issues have you been having with the YouTube app? I use it quite a bit and haven't had any issues with it. I find it much better than the old stock YouTube app that Apple created.
Especially considering the last update for the app came from Google less than a month ago.
I've actually done that with the gmail app and it hasn't worked. I will try again.
