Is Gmail coming out of beta by December?
I was reading Google Blogoscoped and Philipp had a post about a new Google book coming out that details the trials and tribulations of the young company and looks pretty interesting. So then I got to thinking about what other Google books are out there.
I searched Amazon and found a book called Google Gmail : Visual QuickStart Guide. Some of the information there is interesting to note such as: “Simon was a beta tester of the service before public release.” The book product description also says “Google’s brand-new Gmail service” while the service has been in beta since April 2004. And why would a publisher release a book that details how to use a service that is in beta and only available to people who get invited? The book is set to be published on December 2, 2005.
I am predicting based on the above information that Gmail will be publicly released by that date or earlier. Lets see if I’m right or not.
