Gmail plans to double storage
As bender’s evil twin half brother pointed out in a mail this morning, Gmail plans to react to Yahoo’s plans to increase stoarge with 2G. I really don’t see that necessary because Gmail power point is the free POP3 access that makes those 2G useless for power users. The rest of the users will never fill up 1G soon.
Instead of increasing the storage, it would have been better for Gmail to increase the attachaments size.
Anyway great job at Gmail with rich formmating for messages. It works perfect on Firefox 
Almost forgot here is the article from CNET
Edit: just checked Gmail…it says You are currently using 199 MB (18%) of your 1118 MB. Various users report various quota. I think it depends on how much space you are using and it will be a step by step upgrade
Edit 2: it’s increasing constantly …now it’s 1158

It’s increasing ALL accounts gradually at the same time. Log out of Gmail to see the nifty counter…

Don’t have to logout…just hit refresh. GREAT marketing strategy. It would have been quite lame to pop-up 2G in response to Yahoo’s 1G
