Just few days after Google RSS reader interface setback,Google has pulled its iOS Gmail app just hours after it launched, citing a bug which crippled its functionality.How long will it take this company to realize that half baked products will always flop in the market? Google team said that unfortunately, it contained a bug which broke notifications and caused users to see an error message when first opening the app. Gmail twitter page carried a remorseful twit; "Sorry we messed up". The Gmail app for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch was meant to be "one more reason to switch to Gmail" according to Google team.
Gmail for iOS will be brought back "soon", but Google has not given a timeframe.When Google does re-release it, Gmail iOS should deliver push notifications with alert sounds, autocomplete features from Gmail contacts or the device's address book, and a photo uploader. Google's explanation that it removed the app due to a notifications bug was not the only problem, according to those who had time to test it out.
This is a massive disappointment for Google because now it means all apple devices will have to wait.Gmail for iOS lacked the ability to add multiple accounts, while other users complained it looked just like the Gmail web interface. From the launch video,it was clear that it doesn't zip along like a native app does and doesn't update on the fly.I wonder what was the point of launching such a hastily developed app.Just like Lady Gaga song goes,Google was born this way and they seem not to learn from past mistakes which has characterized their previous products like Google Buzz.
