First off, users of the paid LauncherPro Plus have gotten a new LauncherPro widget, this time for Gmail. This widget matches the style of all the other LauncherPro widgets (for Contacts, Calendar, Twitter, and Facebook) that are only available if you've bought the app.

The new Gmail widget lets you quickly glance at your Inbox, and tap on any received email to view it. The viewing action will happen using a LauncherPro-specific viewer, because Google apparently doesn't allow external apps to trigger viewing a specific email conversation thread.

Since one Gmail widget only displays one Gmail account's emails, if you have more accounts, you can set up a different widget for each account.
