So what’s all the hype over GMail 2.0. Its not essentially GMail 2.0 but its referred to in that way to bring about new changes that have been made to the GMail interface.
The new interface is supposed to be faster than the current one, thanks to a JavaScript rewrite. GMail has been the first mail service to launch with a AJAX interface way back in 2004 and it has been the best. Lots of innovations and novel ideas have kept it on top till date. Though Yahoo and Microsoft came out with their respective AJAX’ed mail services, they didn’t click and its about time they looked up to Google.
Google has been rolling out the service only to very few mail accounts till now and to know if you have it, check out the New version link on right-top 
The significant change from user comments has been the speed. Google did it yet again, and looks like using GMail is gonna be faster than ever. Apart from this, the significant change seems to be the contacts management. Google Blogoscoped has a series of sreenshots showing some of the differences. Gmail 2.0 reportedly loads faster, although it’s a bit early to say how much faster.
I can’t wait for my account to get the new settings. Will review it as soon as I get a chance. Till then, if your account has the new interface, please post your comments .
