    Lol, yeah they are definitely keeping it beta for PR purposes. This way if anything ever happens, they can say that it was still a beta, and things happen to betas, it is to be expected.

    Wtvr though, it is still a good free service that I have been happy with over the years :)

    Yes, GMail has been in beta WAY to long. Time for them to change it already. :|

    I agree, they just don't want to get blamed when something happens... errors are expected and accepted in beta.

    Actually google itself is still beta, they always improve it and remove bugs.

    Gmail works nicely for me so even if it's still beta I don't care.
    Seems to me the "beta" thing is just part of Web 2.0 :)

    Haha, yeah that is also true. I guess it is a good philosophy, until they use it to their advantage ;)

    Frankly I do not care about whether it is beta or not given that even at this "beta" stage it beats its nearest competitors by a mile. Maybe Google has more plans for Gmail and hence the beta. Whatever it is, it doesn't affect us and I do not see why the big fuss over this.
