Gmail out of beta

,

Interesting news, after five years of development Gmail is finally out of beta status, as well as Docs, Calendar and Talk.

For those users used to seeing "beta" written below the Gmail logo, they have created a Labs feature that displays the logo with the familiar gray text. I've been a user since late 2004, but I doubt I will enable this feature smile

Speaking of Labs, a definite cool addition is the "Inbox Preview" lab feature. It will show a static view of the inbox while the "loading" message is displayed, so you can see if there are new mails or not before loading. If you haven't experimented with Labs yet, you will find them under "settings"->"labs".

HurtDifferent Opera, different IMDb?

I didn't even realize it was in Beta! lol I've been using it all this time and hadn't a clue. doh (nerdynerak //at// gmail.com if you feel like adding me to your chat thingy in there)

I like some of the themes they have, but wish they had more. I need LOTS of variety!

Will probably see you on gmail too. I've edited your post so that the email is not picked up by bots. Maybe I should delete it altogether.

I wish Gmail was quirks-free in Opera... sad

So true.
It's been rather stable here on my computer lately, but I use POP access, so I don't open it very often at home. When I am away, I often have to use alternate browsers.
