Today in Gear: Product News Done Quick

Just in time for holiday shopping, Google is updating the Gmail app with a package tracker. The new feature removes the need to check in with third-party apps – Gmail itself will scan for tracking numbers and display a ‘shipping status’ bar at the top of the message. Over time, Google also hopes to crystallize a “delay” alert that will flag shipping issues, perhaps before the sender’s own delay notification is sent. Google hopes to roll the feature out in the coming week, though the service will remain strictly “opt-in.”

Today we’re taking a look at a customizable multi-tool, hunting bag set and powerful, AWD-equipped E-Bike. This is Today in Gear.
