Google Adds Pull Down to Refresh and Retina Display Support to Gmail

Google has added pull down to refresh and Retina display support to its Gmail web app for iOS.

Pull down to refresh
To refresh, simply touch the message list, drag downwards and release.

High resolution icons
For those of you using Gmail for mobile on an iPhone 4 Retina display, the icons and graphics are now at a higher resolution, making Gmail for mobile sharper.


Transitions
When you tap on a conversation, tap back to the inbox, go to the menu or go back, the view will slide left or right. This new transition animation is a quick, small indication that makes the view change feel smoother.

Google says they used a combination of up to eight different CSS3 transitions and Javascript to get things to look just right.
