Gmail BETA, see ya lata


 

In a day where an app on a handheld device enables one to retrieve email from nearly any remote location, computer access is no longer necessary. Google, however, recognizes that for some a retreat to the familiar is necessary.

As of today, Google’s gmail will no longer bear its “BETA” label. Google search is the most used search engine, but will Google’s Gmail become the standard for email? Will this new transition from Gmail BETA have an effect on becoming this standard?

Whether or not this new standard is set, Google has creatively developed a solution for nostalgic Gmail users to have a “BETA” sticker next to the familiar Google logo.  For those looking to retreat further down memory lane, skip the Gmail app on your handheld and log in on your PC.
