Can Somebody Develop This?

Non-touch screen smartphones

On my iMac, I use Gmail notification software to inform me when I have new Gmail. I have not been able to find anything similar to this for my Smarphone, and it seems like it would be a great Smartphone utility. As it stands, to see if I have new Gmail I have to manually check my Gmail account using IE on my Dash. Sure would be nice if there were a utility to periodically check this for me.

Have any of you come across a utility that can do this? If not, any developers out there that care to take this on? Of course I get a percentage cut for having the idea :)

This will push e-mail to your handset from Gmail, which is probably even better:

Thank you Natestera. I'll give it a spin.

Bruce,
I forward all my Gmail to my Dash (using POP forwarding in gmail) to a dedicated Hotmail account that syncs via Windows Live. I can then collect all my email by using one button on the Dash. Kinda simplistic, but it's free and it works well.

Thanks James! I like simplistic ways the best.
