Google is making our life so easier, these were the words came out from me when I heard about the latest feature from Google. Do you know that Google is coming up with Gmail V2??? I guess they are doing beta testing of it and allowing users to have a sneak preview of the new gmail interface (Gmail V2). I am the lucky one to be selected by Google server. This new interface has many added functionalities like faster accessibility, better contact handling, group chat, colored smilies and many more features like more keyboard shortcuts , Browser navigation and history and Bookmarking an e-mail.

Ah he was right at that time, group chat was integrated into GMail only long after it was in its widget form. So now he's just laughing off that no one understood perhaps.

But it isn't exactly v2 or anything, just more improvements that the GMail team makes based on user feedback..

@ Qwertymaniac

You are right dude. Actually I logged on to this forum after many days of inactivity and found my thread and just added the comment. Many ppl still do not know about Gmail V2. It is accessible in IE 7 or Firefox only. Not in IE 6.
