By jove, she just might get it. Now to get the Yahoo! main page to stop trying to be a "one-stop-shop" like… every site in 1998.

Already looks better than the gmail client. What's amazing is that after 5 YEARS, gmail's iOS app is still pretty shitty. Yes, that includes 2.0 which has a load of bugs, and which looks like garbage on any non-retina display with that ultra thin font.
silly me.. I thought users wanted one consistent and unified interface for all of their mail services (google, hotmail, yahoo, exchange, other IMAP) via a single easy to use mail client without advertising. What was I thinking?

Just like Google Voice, Google X, Y and Z. I am sure it's just a coincidence.
