Google to discontinue Gmail app for BlackBerry

Blackberry users who use Gmail as email service will no longer be able to use Gmail app. Google has made a statement in Google Apps blog that it will end support for Gmail App for blackberry after the November 22. After the date, the app will not be available for download.
Company announced,”Beginning November 22, 2011, we will end support for the Gmail App for Blackberry (installed native app). Over this past year, we’ve focused efforts on building a great Gmail experience in the mobile browser and will continue investing in this area.”
But those who have already installed this app can use the app as long as they want. The reason behind the decision is said to be the fact that Google is switching its focus over to the Gmail web UI, which is undergoing an overhaul at the moment.
