After releasing the new RSS feeds function, Google announced another 3 new features just in time for the holiday season.

GMail Mobile
Mobile phone users can now check their Gmail via http://m.gmail.com/. This I have not tried but I’m sure it’s a nifty feature.

There is a reply by call feature which lets you call the person if you have their phone number on your Gmail contacts.

Vacation auto-responder
This is one feature that’s long due. Most popular mail apps already have this feature. Just in time for Christmas.

Contact groups
