Google to launch webmail service with 1GIG storage limit!!

I'm very interested in this.. especially if they do a good job of it.
(not sure if this should go in the "alternatives" forum or not :/ )

Am I the only one that thinks this is an April Fools gag?

Re: Google to launch webmail service with 1GIG storage limit!!
Page cannot be displayed this afternoon - not sure what any of you might have seen this morning, but if there was a page there, the fact that it's gone speaks volumes 
Pity, I would really like a webmail account from Google.

what do you see? can you post a screenshot? I just get 'page cannot be displayed' and if I search for it on Google, Google's cache of the page is just a blank page.

thanks! BBC news says it's a beta not available to everyone. I wonder if they have some way of selecting potential users at this stage?
