PlayBook does this using activesync. So yes.

can put gmail as activesync on BB10
Yes the dev alpha devices already have this feature (just no E-mail hub at the moment)
can already do this for my alpha's calendar, works well.
It works and it works !!
The Playbook sync's the G-calendar and Gmail contacts just fine. However, the actual Gmail messages only sync back to a maximum 30 days. Is this the same on the Dev Alpha's? Do they support Gmail labels? On the PB, you can "file" messages to one folder only - you can't apply more than one label to a message. It's also missing the archive function. I'm hoping these change in BB10. I really want the new L series, but full Gmail integration is a must for me.
Any comments?
I have noticed that my g-mail on my Torch only syncs back 30 days too. There must be an option somewhere that lets you keep older things, but its not been a big enough deal to me to go hunting.
I suspect that we will see vastly improved GMail functionality. Now that Gmail is such a big deal and includes so much other stuff, it seems only logical that the experience on bb10 will be improved.
Was anyone surprised that BB10 launched without a native gmail app?
No. Google nor BlackBerry ever even hinted that there would be one.
