I like it, but I don't love it. I use it for most of my mailing list subscriptions and things like that. But I don't feel ready to give out my gmail address as my primary address.
I didn't hear about the new 2GB limit. Hmm, my limit has increased from 1000 MB to 1447 MB. That's fine, but it is a strange number, and it's also strange that it's not 2 GB as you mention. Maybe they use an algorithm to figure out how much each person should have. |

Do they have distribution list capability yet? To me, that was by far the biggest limitation when I looked at it recently. |

Check out Google's maps now. You can toggle to satellite images (link in upper right corner). Pretty cool stuff.
