I may have asked this before but nobody ever responded. I am in need of a widget that simply displays how many new messages I have waiting in my GMail inbox. It should be tiny, just a 1x1 widget, I'm not looking for anything fancy, just something that works consistently. If it launches the GMail app when pressed so much the better but even that isn't a requirement. It needs to be free or available from somewhere that will take PayPal because I have no credit card at the moment. I've seen a few in the market but they're all paid apps and most of them have some bad reviews. How hard can it be to make such a simple little widget?
I do not want, under any circumstances, some bloated widget that does a dozen things badly, I don't want it to check email on 50 different email services, I don't need it to check Facebook or Twitter or anything else, just Gmail. Just a nice little Gmail logo with a number that shows how many unread emails I have and nothing else.
Having switched from an iPhone 4 a few months ago I find it mind boggling that this and a voicemail version of the same thing aren't already built right into the Phone and EMail icons. That is a glaring oversight. Any chance this may be remedied in ICS?

The EMail app does sometimes display new messages but usually it displays like 40 when I have 2 or 0 when I have 10, it's not at all accurate, not sure why it's so messed up. Can't imagine it's anything I did.
