Mailplane integrates Gmail into Mac desktop
An avid Mac developer has unveiled Mailplane for Mac OS X, a new Cocoa shareware application that integrates Gmail into the Mac desktop. Mailplane supports drag-and-drop file attachments, and automatically resizes photos when composing messages. The software features iPhoto integration, as well as Growl notifications. Mailplane is still in beta, and the developer is looking for testers to sign up for private beta registration. Pricing is still undetermined, and the application requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

So I'm confused why anyone really needs this new app. The website says that your Mac and gmail "aren't friends yet". Mine have been best buds for over a year now -- all for free. :-)
If this application offers the ease of use that Gmail currently offers without having to use POP, I might consider using it.
Though I agree with you that the site's notion that the 2 are not friends is somewhat misleading. Gmail on the Mac may not have all the bells and whistles that Windows users enjoy, but it still works great. I've essentially given up using other services like Yahoo.
