Gmail to offer 2 GB of space

First thing first, Google has recently announced plans to double the amount of storage space in Gmail to 2GB. The increase appears to have already begun. Mine now is 1103 MB and increasing by the minute. Only 5 minutes ago it was 1100 MB.

Second thing, since today's April Fool, so, I don't know if everything will be back to 1000 MB tomorrow morning. We'll see.

And oh, now it's 1105 MB.

Update: If you go to Gmail's homepage (you need to sign out first if you are signed in), you'll see their top secret Infinity+1 storage plan with a counter of the storage space they are giving now. Also, they now support Rich Text formatting for email, no more plain text, hahaha.... at last... *excited* To see what has just been launched by Google, check Gmail's What's New page. For my space, now it's 1112 MB.

Update 2: It seems Gmail space is increasing at a rate of 10.24 KB per second. That's exactly 0.01 MB per second. Going at that rate, we will hit roughly 1413 MB by midnight Singapore time. Now it's at 1138 MB.

Update 3: Now we have passed the 2048 MB (2 GB) mark, Google continues to give us more email space, albeit in much slower rate now. If I don't count wrongly, it's roughly 0.1 KB per 3 seconds, equals to 2.88 KB per minute. Interestingly, this calculates to 1 GB in one year. How about that? By 1 April 2006, I reckon, our Gmail space would have been 3072 MB.

Incidentally, this is my 200th post in my blog, since almost one year ago, 18 April 2004. Averaging one post every two days, not bad.
