Yes, you can integrate Gmail with the native iPad Mail.app, however, google has released its own APP for the i Devices. the iPhone version is free and the iPad is $0.99. So, I was curious as to if/why people will/won't purchase it.

I won't be purchasing the App. Why? because I won't be buying an iPhone or an iPad!

Would you buy a desktop mail client from Google for $0.99?

If it did everything Outlook did? Oh yes!

Not unless there was a conspiracy preventing me using an email client of my choice and manually setting the pop/smtp servers on an account by account basis.
I currently use Outlook (on my laptop) to access 2x google mail addresses already and 2x my own domain addresses, and Outlook on my desktop for my 2 own domains only.
I very rarely using a web based client for any mail (other than for my employer, which again is outlook web access). And only once in a blue moon will I log into googlemail online, using when out somewhere to send test message or drop move things between locations.
I use the in built email apps on my Android phone and Android tablet without any problems.

Because people will pay for anything. I am currently on the fence about releasing a bunch of Android apps I have made just to see how quick .99 adds up (or more specifically, .60 since Google gets its share). Of course, I don't want to support users that will only pay $0.99.

That's a very good point - and do you HAVE To support it? LOL.

If a 1000 people buy it every month for an year, that's still $7200. And if you created the app in say 50 hours or so, that's not bad.

I was just being nice. We all know Ennis quite well here, even his mother wouldn't be inclined to buy any mobile apps he publishes.

So 23 years ago I started going out with my Missus and was introduced to the Wog party concept. You have the party, you provide everything, and I mean everything. Guests would bring a present and a bottle or carton of something for the house.
In the last 5 or so years, all these Wogs have decided that the 70's Aussie way is best, and we go out somewhere and everyone pays for themselves, f***ers. Now I'm Wogified and won't go out for my birthday, now it's 03:15 and have been up helping our London based customer again and have had time for some figures to wander through my head making me think maybe I'm not thinking things through clearly.
The figures below have blown out, cause my wife and kids are involved in the planning of what Dad can spend, and I'm sure my estimates of what I have left to buy will be well on the low side of what I end up spending.
Currently Purchased
$158.00 Brew beer at The Beer Factory
$ 38.00 By 50 bottles from The Beer Factory cause Dickhead mate lost 34 bottles
$ 59.00 Buy 2 x 1125ml bottle bundaberg OP Rum
$169.00 Buy groceries for party from Coles
$186.00 Buy groceries for party from Woolworths
$610.00
Still Need To Purchase
$150.00 Meat
$ 95.00 Scotch, Bourbon and Beer for dickhead FIL who doesn't like my beer even though he hasn't tasted it yet
$ 70.00 Prosciuto, Panchetta, Sopressa, Olives etc. from Deli
$315.00
That's $925.00 so far, make me feel bad by telling what I could have bought for the $1,000.00 I'll end up spending at least.
