Hm. I've found the Gmail changes almost completely useless, since I read email almost exclusively on my phone (though I often reread or respond to it on my laptop) and the changes don't extend to the Android app. Reading between the lines, though, it doesn't sound like you're seeing the same behavior I am. Do you have a different email workflow? Or do you know if the changes are supported by some phones but not others, or require manual configuration, or something?

My android app on a Motorola Droid has the changes as well, and automatically switched over when I switched my browser setup. I would investigate your settings.

That it also works on my phone is a large part of what makes it so useful for me- of the ~30 emails I get a day, only the ~2 actually important ones ping me on my phone, and the rest wait patiently until I want to see them.
