> Imagine if they shipped a default e-mail client that only allowed you to use Gmail, and you had to install a separate client to use e-mail with any other e-mail provider.

That's how Google Android works now. There originally was a generic email app, but Google quickly replaced it with Gmail early on.

The app may be called gmail, but it works just as well with my hotmail account as it does with my gmail account.
