#32Google, I have the solution. Step 1: Checkout the Sparrow source code Step 2: Find and Replace All on the word "Sparrow" and change it to "Gmail" Step 3: Add push notifications. Compile and send to the app store.
I dunno about that - I really wanted to like Sparrow for iOS (aside from a couple bugs dealing with insane volumes of email, I love it on the desktop) but it never felt quite right to me.
