14 DAY TRIAL // Even though Google doesn’t plan to release an official Gmail app for Windows 8, there are several alternatives in the Store, including a brand new solution called “Gmail Touch.”
As you may guess by simply reading its name, this app has been developed to allow users to make the most of their Windows 8 touch-capable computer and access Gmail with just a few taps.
The program is rather simple and allows you to view your inbox, compose messages and access the other folders in your Gmail account. It features Windows 8 integration, so you can search your email using the Windows 8 Search Charm.
Just like its name suggests, it’s completely optimized for the touch, so it works not only on x86 and x64 Windows 8 builds, but also on Windows RT tablets.
