Upgrading From Google Mail To Gmail App? Gmail Not In Market!?!

[Regenerate72]

I just switched from being a long time Blackberry user to a (so far so good) HTC Desire HD so apologies for being the newbie here.

I was reading online that the Gmail App is now independent of Android and there is a new downloadable version in Market. I looked on Market and the Gmail App doesnt appear to be there, nor do the links provided on the Google site work. I can't find any way to manually check for application updates on my phone except for the System Software Updates which seems reserved for the OS only.

I'm living in Germany and I currently have Version 2.3 of Google Mail running on Froyo. My questions are:

- Where do I check on my phone to see if there is an update for Google Mail (or for that matter any apps)?

- Why can I not find the Gmail App in Market?

- Is there a difference between the Gmail and Google Mail app?


Thanks in advance everyone!

- Why can I not find the Gmail App in Market?

Could be your location. Could be the version of Android on your device. You'll only see what's available specifically to you in the Market.

- Is there a difference between the Gmail and Google Mail app?

Nope:
