Google steps up GMail gig race

Sometime in the past few days, when I wasn't looking, my GMail storage space raced past the 4GB mark. It had hit the 3GB mark only a week ago. GMail is falling behind some of its webmail competitors, some of which offer 5GB or more space.

So it seems that Google is stepping up the gig race, and is adding storage faster than its usual rate.

Update, Nov 17: Storage is now near the 5GB mark.
