Google Chooses April 1 For Announcement

“It has been a year since Google unveiled a free e-mail service with a gigabyte of storage. Now there’s word the search provider is doubling the storage capacity for each account and pledges to keep raising the limit in the future..

..As the e-mail upgrade takes effect Friday, Gmail users will be able to store up to 2 gigabytes of e-mail and attachments for each account. The company says more capacity will be made available later for its users.”

So there you have it, Gmail will now give users 2GB of space. Which is funny.. because I highly doubt *that* many people have come even remotely close to their 1GB. Unless they keep spam.
