    Gmail

    Price: Free
    Platform: Android

    Google has released the latest version of Gmail for Android devices, including a few new options to enhance the user experience. Version 2.3.5 of the email client includes settings to sync only the priority inbox of an account, saving bandwidth by only downloading messages that are directly addressed to the user's account. You can also automatically sync mail contained within any of your user-defined Gmail labels, and, if you choose to sync, a label can also apply a label-specific notification sound to new messages.

    Other enhancements noted in the change log on the Android Market include a performance bump and the ability of the client to remember your "Show Pictures" option for messages from the same senders.
