GMail Infinite Storage Facts

The counter displayed on the Gmail Homepage and the storage limit indicator when you login to your account match with each other. For example If counter on homepage displays "1172.8564443 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user." , after login your storage indicator will also show "You are currently using 148 MB (13%) of your 1172 MB."

I found this article on CNET that GMail is giving out 2 GB storage space. So is it really infinite or 2 GB? so here are my thoughts aboutthis

1. GMail is increasing its storage limit to 2 GB
2. The counter displayed on the GMail Homepage is just for fun. It will run upto a value of 2050.000000 Megabytes and after that it will stop and display a message
"
Over 2000 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user."

Nice idea to make an announcement !

Stay tuned till midnight and watch this space for more updates..

Update 1:
Change your system date to 2nd April 2005 and time to 4:29:00 PM. Visit the GMail Homepage
And wait for 1 minute. You will experience the counter stopping and showing above mentioned message.

Update 2:
Next stop for GMail space counter is 2075.000000 MB

Update 3:
Next stop for GMail space counter is 2100.000000 MB. It seems that they are increasing 25 MB per week. With this pace, GMail storage will increase to more than 3 GB by next year. Watch this space for more update (
