GMail

Google to offer 1 gig of free e-mail: This will alter the playing field a bit. Comes with a GB of storage.

Search engine Google Inc. announced Wednesday it will launch a free, Web-based e-mail service to compete against popular services from rivals Yahoo! Inc. and Microsoft Corp.

Google’s service, called “Gmail,” will include a built-in search function that will let people search every e-mail they’ve ever sent or received.

It sounds like it's for real. And there's a report on http://www.macslash.com that they plan to run the service on Apple G5 xServes. How 'bout that!
