I just got to use the new version of Gmail for the first time today. It took a while to get to me, since Google likes to roll out their new products in waves. Anyway, it seems pretty neat. To the naked eye, not much has changed. This is good, since I liked the old version so much. If they had changed the interface or features too much, I think a lot of people would have complained. One of the biggest differences I can see is the Contacts list. It now uses a two-panel approach, which should make organizing and navigating easier. The word on the street is that this list will be more compatible with other Google products soon. Another difference I noticed was that Gmail now prefetches messages for you. This significantly reduces load times when you're browsing your mail. It makes this web app seamless enough to make you forget you're using the Internet.
