Couple of announcements from Gmail:

Digital Media Wire:

And Gmail will soon allow you to pay for a larger mailbox size:

“Now that Google has more computing muscle, Brin said the company will start selling additional storage capacity to e-mail users with extraordinary needs. Google still hasn’t figured out the specifics, but Brin indicated the e-mail storage and fees to be introduced later this year would be similar to Google’s photo-hosting service that charges $25 annually for 6.25 gigabytes and $500 annually for 250 gigabytes.”

Something the mega-power users and file-sharers will appreciate…
