Optimized iPad GMail WebApp on nook

[Harlley Sathler]

Hi,

Does anyone know if is it possible to load the tablet optimized version of gmail on the nook?

I can do it by changing the UserAgent of Dolphin HD by the iPad one, but I'm looking for a more native way to do that. i.e. running it on the home screen like a native app.

Thanks in advance.

Are you asking if you can run an Apple app on a Nook Color?

 

[Harlley Sathler]

No! This is not possible, I know. What I'm asking is if is there any way to run the GMail Webapp google optimized for iPad in our nooks. I can get it running inside Dolphin Browser setting it's user agent to iPad.

What I like to do is run this iPad optimized version of GMail on the home screen, like the native one.

Try using Dolphin HD browser and set the ID to iPad, instead of Android or desktop as example. It works on some sites I've tried.

Well,

Actually is what I did! But I look for a more native way, like any way to force the native android gmail app to open the optimized iPad version of the web app.

Are you on CM7? If you are, and you want to use the ipad optimized version on the stock browser, do this:

Go to the browser, hit menu, settings, scroll all the way to the bottom, click user agent, then ipad. See if that works.

Don't forget to hit thanks if it does!

Web pages aren't apps.

Did either of you even bother read the OP's initial post where he states "I can do it by changing the UserAgent..."?

Wow, no body bothers reading threads anymore...


I just gave it a shot then, set my user agent to ipad then went to gmail. The fact that it was ipad seemed to be reflected in the URL, so i typed in the same URL on my computer to test.

So what i would suggest is going to the ipad site: https://mail.google.com/mail/mu/mp/536/#tl/Inbox

Then bookmarking it

if you want to give it the native app feel, you can add the bookmark to your desktop and even change the icon to the gmail icon if you want.
