(Reuters) - Google Inc launched an email service
called "Inbox" on Wednesday that will better
organize emails and display information such as
appointments, flight bookings and package
deliveries in a more user-friendly way.
Google said it was sending out invitations to
selected Gmail users to try out the new service.
Users can also email the company at
inbox@google.com to get an invitation.
For now the new service is being provided
alongside Gmail, which was launched in 2004.
It will be available on the Web as well as on
Android smartphones and iPhones.
"Inbox is by the same people who brought you
Gmail, but it’s not Gmail: it's a completely
different type of inbox, designed to focus on
what really matters," the company said in a blog
post.
Google said Inbox displays real-time updates to
emails - for example, showing the delivery
status of items bought online.
It also shows reminders in a more accessible
way that allows users to more easily keep track
of chores and appointments.
The company said the new application also
enhances features that are already available in
Gmail that allow users to view purchases and
bank account statements grouped together.
Google's shares were up 1.7 percent at $547.33
in early afternoon trading Nasdaq.
