2.2. Downloadable mobile products
These products must be downloaded and run from a mobile device.
Gmail mobile : A downloadable application that has many advantages over accessing Gmail through a web interface on a mobile such as
the ability to interact with Gmail features including labels and archiving. Requires a properly configured Java Virtual Machine, which is
not available by default on some platforms (such as Palm's Treo).
Maps Mobile : Mobile application for viewing maps on a mobile device. Unlike other Mobile Google products, mobile Maps is available
in non-Java versions, avoiding the difficulties with getting a Java Runtime Environment installed and properly configured on the mobile device.
Maps mobile is currently available in versions for Windows Mobile and Palm OS smartphones.
