Google to offer 1Gb email service soon
CALIFORNIA — Popular search engine Google Inc. announced on Wednesday it would launch a free, Web-based email service to rival similar services provided by Yahoo! Inc and Microsoft Corp.
.
The one gigabyte "Gmail", as the service will be called, will include a built-in search function that will allow users to search every email they have ever sent or received, AP reported.
.
The storage is more than 100 times what most providers offer and is enough to hold 500,000 pages of email.
.
The new service is being offered to invited users, but it will be available to everyone in a few weeks, AP reported.
.
Analysts said the service could shake up the free email market, which Yahoo! dominates with 52.6 million unique users per month in the United States according to a February survey.
.
Microsoft's Hotmail is next with 45.4 million users. AOL has 40.2 million paying users.

Spam, dude. I'm using Yahoo because of the spam guard. But spam takes up almost half of the space.
THink I'll use the google one if they have a similarly powerful spam guard. -
Please check the fine print or rather their fine pixels on it's privacy policy.
There has been great divide about the way they allows advertisers to place text-based ads in your emails (that is, if you choose to sign up thereafter). That means to say, they actually will scrutinise ya emails and only relevant adverts will be placed in that particular mail.
You have been warned:
Why Gmail gives me the creeps -

The privacy thing isn't too big a deal , i mean , what type of emails do you have? Newsletters , spam , newsletters , spam , and more newsletters and spam , and the occasional email from a REAL person.
Maybe it you really had some confidential information , then use another email account .
