I use a normal (non-Gmail dependent) MTU for my Gmail. What user need does the Gmail-dependent MTU from Google fulfill that warrants that dependency? As far as I can tell, my non-Google MTU adds more functionality to GMail than GMail has. As for AGPS - great. But we already know that location services function quite well without it. Did you know that you can do AGPS and drastically reduce time to fix just by initializing a GPS receiver using your last known location? AGPS with a location obtained from a WiFi SSID (via a call to the cloud) is only faster when your last known location is drastically different to your current location (another state, or country). I won't believe that Google is incapable of designing a location API that's extensible. There's a non-technical reason, and that reason is in conflict with the openness Google likes to play up.
