New Stacked Cards Interface for Gmail on iPad




Google has announced a new “stacked card” interface for selecting and managing multiple conversations on Gmail for iPad.

In the past, performing actions on selected conversations was awkward. There were two similar toolbars on the screen: one on the bottom left and the other on the top right. The former affected the selected conversations, while the latter affected the currently open conversation. Since the toolbars’ buttons looked similar, it was easy to mistakenly use the wrong toolbar. Sound confusing? It was.

In the new interface, selected conversations are displayed stacked on the right panel for easy organizing, archiving or deleting. The second toolbar is gone so it’s always clear which conversations you’re working with.

You can try the new interface by visiting gmail.com in MobileSafari.
