While it's obviously good news they updated the gmail app, it's even better that it's in the market. When Android first started, the google apps were built into the phone (not on market) and the only way for those apps to be updated was through a software update (obviously come around rarely). With the apps showing up in the market it makes it easier for us to keep up applications up to date without having to wait for a software update.
I for one find this to be great news.

As you scroll through a conversation, your most important message actions will now stick to the top of the screen, one click away, no matter how long the email is.
Very long thread? Now you can view previous message content more easily, just like in the desktop version of Gmail. Tap “Show quoted text” to reveal the previous message.
Finally, this updated version of the Gmail app has limited support for Priority Inbox. If you’ve enabled Priority Inbox via the desktop version of Gmail, you’ll see an “Important” label that shows all messages flagged as important. You can even add a shortcut to “Important” to your home screen.
