Stilly -

The latest I've seen on the G-mail (searchable using G-strings?) is at Google Gmail at eWeek.

It's being offered now to a few "selected" users (beta testers?) and should be in general release "in a few weeks." The big "selling point" is that they offer free 1GB (or was it 10GB) storage, and claim you'll be able to organize and search your own email by "Googling" within it. It will allow Google to place popup ads in your email view but it's not clear whether you have to be connected to a Google site, where you get the email to look at it, or if ads will be inserted in individual email messages.
