14 DAY TRIAL // While Google doesn’t plan to release any other Windows 8 applications, developers are now hard at work to create third-party apps capable of accessing the services provided by the search giant.
Toasts&Tiles for Gmail is one of the clients that allow users to send and receive Gmail messages without leaving the Modern interface of their computers, providing them with full touch support on any Windows 8 version.
The app supports up to three different accounts, while also offering badges, toast notifications, and live tile support to read messages straight from the Start Screen.
In addition to support for x86 and x64 desktop versions of Windows 8, Toasts&Tiles for Gmail can also be downloaded and installed on Windows RT tablets, including Microsoft’s very own Surface RT.
