Gmail adds new features, now 2GB of space

Gmail has celebrated it's first birthday by adding some new features.

Firstly, they have doubled the storage amount to 2GB, and in what is a unique marketing move, have pledged to add more space "as we are able". There is now a javascript counter on the gmail homepage which is slowly incrementing, counting the amount of available space you have available at the present time.

Also added is rich text formatting, which in my opinion is more of an annoyance than a feature in the wrong hands. I'm not looking forward to gmails containing garish coloured fonts of different sizes and formatting.
