An app made for iPad is an app like no other. That’s because apps for iPad are designed specifically to take advantage of all the technology built into iPad.

Anyone know of an iphone app similar to this:

That doesnt require a jailbreak? As someone coming from a bb, i really miss not having my events and emails on the home screen.

If you use Gmail, you can get your emails on screen using the Gmail app.

That's an old article from pre-iOS 5. iOS 5 allows you to turn notifications on your lock screen. Granted, only new notifications will show--once you unlock your phone, the lock screen resets and you can't see your upcoming events without unlocking your phone or waiting for a new notification to arrive--but it gets you part of the way there.

The Mail app can display any emails on your lock screen. Just turn the "View in Lock Screen" setting on in Settings>Notifications>Mail.

Does it sync to the Gmail server so the mail pops up instantly on your lock screen and vibrate/make a sound?

For those wanting to try My Flights, there's now a free version out...

Remember it's for Amadeus bookings, but I'm also working on TripIt integration for the next release

If you set it up with Google Sync, yes. Plain IMAP doesn't push (you'll get the emails every 15 minutes). Google Sync also syncs to your Google Calendar and Google Contacts.

OK, but if all you want to do is sync your Gmail, you don't need to bother with the hassle of Google Sync. You just install the Gmail app. Right?

Remind me to scowl at you if we ever meet. This game is taking up far too much of my time. ;)

I've already expanded to all continents! :)

I don't like how you can't fly eastward from West Coast USA to Asia.

Google Sync isn't any more hassle to set up than regular Gmail. You just tap the Microsoft Exchange button instead of the Gmail button and input an extra couple of fields (the server address [m.google.com] and whatever else).

I personally find the Gmail app too slow to load. With the Mail app, your emails are waiting there for you to read even if you are offline. The Gmail app won't actually load your messages for reading until you open it, which takes several seconds and is impossible to do when out of range of wifi and data. Mail.app is also a quicker-to-respond interface (albeit less full-featured) when reading and typing replies and all that.

You know they aren't mutually exclusive. You can use both as it suits you. And the Gmail app doesn't seem slow on a 4s. What platform are you using?

Maybe we need a FlyerTalk team. then again, if you can't tell east from west... maybe we shouldn't be on the same team. ;) :P

iPhone 4.

It took 4 seconds from the time I tapped on the notification to the time the message was readable in the Gmail app (the app took 2 seconds to open and another 2 seconds of network activity to download the message). The same message was available within 1.5 seconds when tapping the Mail notification, since it had already downloaded before the app was opened. Every second added makes it feel slower. :)
