The Android Gmail app just got richer

For all of you Gmail app users out there in Android land, Google has added a couple of new features that you might be interested in!

Rich Text Formatting

Have you ever been writing an email and wished you had the ability to bold text that’s really important, or italicize something? Well now you can. Google has just added the ability to include rich text in your emails, within the Gmail app. According to the official Gmail Blog, you will be able to:

• Add bold text
• Add italic text
• Add underlined text
• Add colored text
• Add [textmarker color=”FFF024″]highlighted[/textmarker] text

Instant RSVP

Google is also adding a new feature called Instant RSVP. According to the Official Gmail blog:

[blockquote author=””]If you use Google Calendar or Microsoft Exchange, calendar invitations now include a one-tap option to show your schedule and respond.[/blockquote]

Google’s aim for this feature is to help you do as much as possible within a single app.

So what do you think? Are these features exciting for you? Are they enough to bring you back to the official Gmail app if you’ve defected to something else? Let us know in the comments!
