Gmail for iPad Updated [PICS]

The improvements center around the compose interface, used for writing e-mails on Gmail. Now, when an iPad user composes a new message in Gmail, she will be able to do so in a large, full-screen window instead of the split view that also displays inbox messages. The new interface creates more space for writing while also removing distractions. The update also includes an important bug fix for scrolling on longer messages.

For now, the new interface will only be available to English-speaking users in the U.S.; we're sure Google will start rolling it out to others soon.

Here's what Gmail on the iPad will look like moving forward:
