Gmail coming out of Beta?
I just read on PC World that Australian and New Zealand residents can get a Gmail account without invitation.
Although still in beta form, Google plans to release a final version once “strong internal metrics” are met.
“We’ll take Gmail out of beta once we feel we’ve met these metrics,” the spokesperson said. “However, users should know that Gmail is reliable and is quickly becoming more widely available. In fact, tens of millions of users around the world already depend on Gmail every day.
Wow, it would be so nice to see Gmail out of Beta stage. Almost all the products they release are in Beta.

Wow, it has been in beta for a long time, so long that I haven’t even noticed it in over a year. That’s good that they hold themselves to a high standard.

Beta’s are taking over the net it seems . Sometimes they take too long to reach the final product and that has been the case with google . It is almost 2 years and still they are in beta .
