The new Gmail app is finally out for JellyBean users as well. Among the features is auto-fit message to screen and the complementing pinch-to-zoom. It’s been a long time coming for that feature. ---

It’s been a long time coming for that feature. Finally! One less thing I will miss about iOS. So annoying scrolling through my [buy.com](http://buy.com) sale email and having to scroll left/right constantly. Guess this is a downside to auto-update and not paying attention to what the update did. I didn’t even realize we had this feature. :tup: to actually talking about a cool new Android feature in the Android thread for once. 😉 ---

Enabled right after I saw your post. Well, I after I saw it, tried it and it didn’t work. Went into settings and saw the option. Works perfect, just what the iOS mail app has done by default since oh forever. ---

The actual stock android keyboard isn’t bad. It’s the one Samsung put on the GS3 as part of touchwiz that is almost unusable. ---

Swiftkey seems to better predict words and its number keypad layout is nice. Also love how exclamation and question marks work. Is anyone experiencing issues were tracked packages in gmail don’t show up in Google now? Do you need to leave the items in your inbox? I’ve tried that and they still don’t show Sent from my HTC Droid DNA using Tapatalk 2 ---

They probably could figure out which packages are important to you based on how many times you access the email and manually click the link. Fuck, that’s scary. ---

I don’t troll all the Android news/forums like some of you has anyone heard rumors of when the Nexus 4 will be back in stock? I’m going to flip flop ditch my Nexus 7 tablet for a iPad Mini and swap my 4S for a Nexus 4.
