Google announced some news at its Analysts Day, which may excite some — it will be releasing a completely rewritten, optimized and improved version of GMail.The new version dubbed “GMail 2.0” has two main goals: faster service and better contact management.
Initial testers reported the test version felt noticeably faster and more responsive, particularly in contacts management. They report a new contacts screen, as well as that the chat can now not be hidden (at least in the trial version). Another improvements is that contact pictures can be transferred directly from Google’s Picasa web albums, all server-side, to reduce bandwidth and processing expenses on the user side.
Hmmm first it was IMAP and now this, things are finally looking good for Google 🙂
