Google is rewarding feature phone users with a new look for mobile Gmail. Those who still flip open their cell phone to check email can expect a simpler experience, according to Google product manager Ari Bezman. In a blog post, Bezman revealed "a number of improvements," including fewer button presses required to read, reply to, and compose emails. Users can now reply directly to a message from the thread view, choose to move to the previous or next conversation, and other smartphone-like functions. In place of a Gmail-specific app, feature phone users can simply type "mail.google.com" into their mobile browser to see their latest messages or write to someone while on the go. The function is especially helpful in developing countries where smartphones haven't yet invaded. This move comes a few months after Google revamped its Web-based Gmail site, now with a tabbed inbox to help prioritize messages. On the desktop, the tabs appear at the top of the Gmail inbox, with categories like Social, Promotions, Updates, and Primary. Each serves a different function — Social, for example, provides notifications about tagged photos on Facebook, mentions on Google+, and requests from LinkedIn. The same system later rolled out to iOS and Android mobile users. Last month, the Web giant made headlines for a court filing that some interpreted as an admission that Gmail users should have no expectation of privacy while using the service. Google argued that, "just as a sender of a letter to a business colleague cannot be surprised that the recipient's assistant opens the letter," people can't exactly be shocked if they're communications are processed over the course of its delivery.
