Google Inc launched an email service called 'Inbox' on 22
October 2014 Wednesday that will better organize emails and display information
such as appointments, flight bookings and package deliveries in a more
user-friendly way.
Google said it was sending out invitations to selected
Gmail users to try out the new service. Users can also email the company at
inbox@google.com to get an invitation.
For now the new service is being provided alongside
Gmail, which was launched in 2004. It will be available on the Web as well as
on Android smartphones and iPhones. "Inbox is by the same people who
brought you Gmail, but it's not Gmail: it's a completely different type of
inbox, designed to focus on what really matters," the company said in a
blog post.
Google said Inbox displays real-time updates to emails, for
example, showing the delivery status of items bought online. It also shows
reminders in a more accessible way that allows users to more easily keep track
of chores and appointments. The company said the new application also enhances
features that are already available in Gmail that allow users to view purchases
and bank account statements grouped together. Read more news: >>>>>
