Gmail for Android hasn't received much love lately, but Google definitely hasn't forgotten about it. The new version 2.3.5 (curiously, it matches the latest Gingerbread release version), which showed up tonight, brings a host of new features, including one that I was *just* thinking of yesterday after clicking the "Show Pictures" button for the 1800th time.

The new features are:

Save bandwidth and battery by only syncing priority mail

Use label notifications to mash up filters, labels, and ringtones

Remember ‘Show Pictures’ for senders

Turn off sticky message actions in landscape or all orientations

Better TalkBalk support for accessibility

Performance improvements

As I mentioned, my favorite is definitely the sticky "Show Pictures" setting, which means I won't have to click the annoying button in every email that I receive from all the deals sites on a daily basis. Excellent. I'm not sure whether the list of approved senders is synced between all devices and Gmail.com itself, but I have my doubts.

As for the rest of the new additions, here are most of them at a glance:
