BIS 3.0 coming to North American BlackBerry users next weekend?
It seems almost too good to be true, but it looks like the era of usable Gmail integration on BlackBerry might finally be upon us. CrackBerry is citing information that BIS 3.0 will be rolled out to North American customers in the wee hours of Sunday, March 28, when most of us are in a peaceful slumber (a good thing, considering that data services will be mostly down during the four-hour window). Out of the gate, 3.0 will offer Gmail label creation and deletion when using the plug-in along with support for OpenDocument file types and WMA audio, but the real meat should come shortly thereafter as two-way synchronization of read status and sent messages "will be added throughout the Spring 2010 by region." Technically, Spring starts today, so this could show up the moment BIS 3.0 goes live -- but given that we've waited literally years for this to happen, we're not getting our hopes up prematurely.

Gboard is the Colorful Gmail Keyboard For Shortcuts That You Need Now [Keyboard]

While all 69 Gmail shortcuts aren't represented on this Gboard keyboard, the 19 that do feature on the mini-keyboard are bound to be your most-used. Search, star, archives, trash—all the majors are represented in fun Google colors.

It's not an official Google product, with Californian film producer Charlie Mason behind the Mac and Windows-friendly peripheral, which can also be used for non-Gmail shortcuts too.

Rack up the $19.99 charge on your card, plug into into your USB port, turn on Gmail's keyboard shortcuts option, and start saving time. [Gboard via CNET]

Archos 5 gets Android Market, Gmail and Maps for that Google-blessed experience
Since it's not a phone and transgresses in all sorts of other Google-pleasing areas, the Archos 5 Internet Tablet hasn't had a full shot at Android thus far, being relegated to merely the open source aspects of the OS. However, with phones like the Droid out and about and making high-resolution compatibility a must for Android developers, not to mention some diligent work from the hacking community, there are now downloadable versions of Android Market, Gmail, Maps and some other Google-specific Android goodies for the Archos 5. Use them at your own risk, of course, but it's not like the Archos 5 is a testament to stability in its current incarnation anyway.

Offline Gmail Gets Attachment Support [Gmail]

According to Google, one of the most requested features for offline Gmail users was the ability to include attachments in emails. Well, that problem has been solved.

Starting today, users can attach all types of files—except images embedded in the body of the email. These messages now go through the outbox when you're online or offline, allowing Gmail to capture the attachment either way. [Gmail Blog via TechCrunch]

Google making Waves across all its Apps?
We just received a set of screengrabs from an anonymous source giving us a glimpse at what appears to be Google's (and thus, the world's) future interface to its web applications, Gmail in particular. While we were originally tempted to ignore them, communications with the tipster would indicate genuine insider knowledge. Regardless, we can not independently confirm the authenticity of these images. Having said that, the pics demonstrate a more unified apps interface based on Google's Wave and accessible from any browser (as they are now). Specifically, we're told that "the goal is to provide a consistent experience throughout all Google Apps and blur the line between the browser and the website (e.g. drag and drop, right-click, etc.)." Something that certainly makes sense to us based on what we know about Google's tender approach to its Chrome browser and its future "lightweight" Chrome OS. If true then this "work in progress" also hints at the importance of Wave to the future of Google. Then again, it could be just one of many possible interface concepts from Google's burgeoning developer's sandbox.

Gmail’s ‘Got the Wrong Bob?’ Feature Keeps You From Emailing Nude Photos to Your Mom [Gmail]

Nothing's worse than realizing you sent those pictures of you in the shower to Mom instead of Mona. Trust me. Now, Gmail is here to help you out, making sure you're sending emails to who you intend to.

"Got the Wrong Bob?" is a new Google Labs feature that you can turn on in Gmail. It works by analyzing groups of people that you usually email together. For example, if you accidentally include your boss Hank in with your normal key party invite group when you meant to invite country singer Hank Williams Jr., well, Gmail will ask if you meant this Hank instead of that Hank. This will in turn save you a boatload of awkwardness (or a magical night where you learn more about your boss than you ever thought possible, but that's neither here nor there).

So go ahead, check it out and see if it works. It certainly can't hurt, right? [Official Gmail Blog via Esquire]
