Gmail brings Priority Inbox to mobile web app, stymies green-eyed monster

Those of you suffering from Android envy can put your jealousy aside momentarily, because Priority Inbox is now available via Gmail’s mobile web app. Up until now, the mail sorting system was available for the desktop and Android devices only , but now smart email prioritizing is anybody’s game. If you didn’t already know, Priority Inbox sorts emails in order of importance by learning from your actions, like how many times you read or reply to messages from a certain address. Mobile web users were always able to dig up those sorted messages with the “Important” label, but now all the good stuff is front and center. The feature is available right now on most HTML5-compatible browsers for devices running Android 1.5 and iOS 3.0 or higher, and while it may not be the great equalizer, it’s bound to quell some feelings of OS inadequacy. We’ll chalk it up as a win for the little green monster (and a loss for his green-eyed friend).
