On Wednesday, Google announced that it had relaunched its official

app, after launching and almost immediately removing it due to

glitches earlier this month.

Product Manager Matthew Izatt wrote on the Official Gmail Blog:

    Two weeks ago, we introduced our Gmail app for iOS.

Unfortunately it contained a bug which broke notifications and

displayed an error message, so we removed it from the App Store.

We’ve fixed the bug and notifications are now working, and the app

is back in the App Store.

At the time of the original launch, the Gmail blog said the app,

which can be used on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, was optimized for

speed, efficiency and touch.

According to The Huffington Post's Jason Gilbert, the app's most

important new feature is speed: "It brings "push notifications" for

Gmail to iDevices for the first time, meaning that you can now be

notified the moment a new message hits the Gmail servers, just by

glancing at the screen of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."

The app is now available for download in the iTunes store.

Take a look at screenshots for the iPhone and iPad versions of the

app.

NBC has Hulu Plus. ESPN has WatchESPN. HBO is reportedly launching HBOGo next month.

Now a Sony Pictures has entered the fray of media-owners-with-video-streaming-apps, with Crackle, an iOS app that lets you stream full-length videos owned by Sony across your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. For free. The catch is, of course, that an ad runs every few minutes.

To promote the launch, Sony has also inked exclusive content from Electronic Arts: a new Extended Gameplay Trailer for Battlefield 3.

Crackle's catalogue includes over 200 titles from Sony's network of production companies like Sony Pictures Classics, Columbia Pictures, TriStar Pictures, Screen Gems and others. At launch, Crackle offered the following highlights:

TV:
• Seinfeld
• Married... With Children
• Samurai X
• Starsky and Hutch

Movies:
• The Da Vinci Code
• Snatch
• Ghostbusters
• A Few Good Men

Furthermore, Sony said Crackle will only show the uncut, unedited versions of movies, which could be a boon for watching classics like "Dr. Strangelove" or "La Femme Nikita."

The app also contains features like video queue management, sharing content on social networks or email, and video playback. Sony will also add to the library on a regular basis, it said in its app description.

Studio 2D Boy has launched its stellar puzzle game World of Goo for Apple's iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.

The goal of the game is to move as many balls of goo through a pipe as possible. Sometimes, players must build bridges out of goo to pass gaps or reshape the goo to move past obstacles.

World of Goo first launched on the Nintendo Wii through its WiiWare digital download service before migrating to PCs and Macs. The version for Apple devices will cost $2.99, but players who purchase the game within the next 24 hours can get it for 99 cents. There's also an HD version for iPad that costs $4.99.
