Gmail Comes of Age

Finally, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, and Google Talk are officially released. All this really means is that the familiar "BETA" tag that was underneath each of the respective icons will be removed today. When I first checked my email it was still there, however, I logged out, refreshed the page, and logged in again only to find that I'm BETA free!

The software hasn't changed any more than it did yesterday or 2 weeks ago. The real key is that Gmail is a web app that is always evolving. Likely, new features will continue to be introduced via the Labs feature and then slowly, if successful, moved into the final applicaiton for all to use.

Here's to Gmail!
