I was after the "bing" as well.
The mobile app is great, works well on my SonyEricsson W810i, but it
doesn't work with Hosted GMail, only plain vanilla gmail. There
doesn't appear to be any good reason for it as most other 3rd party
apps work fine with gmail and the hosted version. There seems to be
some commercial relationship with Blackberry and the Hosted apps.
