It is being alleged that Gmail storage quotas are set to increase by 0.4mb/year going forward as follows:2835 MB on April 1st 2007Assuming the preceding is true, at least it's increasing. I'd still to be able to buy more space, but that is apparently not in the cards.
2980 MB on April 1st 2008
3125 MB on April 1st 2009
3270 MB on April 1st 2010

Paul, just use your domain or another domain you own and use Google's business services. $50 a year gets you a 10GB gmail account.

I'm using this for two domains. It's nice.
The google apps for your domain has one leetle problem, i.e. it requires your MX records to be changed, not an option for anyone who wants to use it for their job without a company-wide switch to gmail:

I still wish someone would do a really good service like Oddpost had a few years ago, Gmail is cool but speaking as someone who just hit the gmail limit if they don't let individuals purchase gigs at a time then they're not a real business option. I don't know about everyone else but I get powerpoints that are huge these days, its easy to fill up 2 gigs. Deleting stuff when you reach the storage limit constantly is annoying, especially when its stuff you want to save and search on the web.
Uhh... anyone else think this is an April Fool's Joke?









Storage projections out to 2012? I think we can safely ignore projections after, say, 2008.
If you had told me in 2001 I could buy an 8GB flash drive in early 07 for well under 100 *retail* (newegg), I'd have sooner believed in flying cars by then. And let's not get started on hard-drive prices (I'd have sooner believed in world peace by then).
This is probably an example of managing expectations :)
